Can they harass me for not going to probate court if property left is less than $5,000?

Melissa Ann Botting
Answered by attorney Melissa Ann Botting (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Melissa A. Botting
Yes, your sibling can make trouble for you over this. If you did not go to probate court you have essentially stolen money from the estate. For an estate of this size you could most likely file a small estate affidavit with the court. You would account for expenses for cleaning and settling the estate, pay your father's bills and split the remainder with your sibling.

Can I get control over my father's estate if I live in a different estate than he does?

James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Answered by attorney James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Estate Planning lawyer at James Oberholtzer, Chartered
The answer to your question depends on many facts that are not presented. Chief among them is whether your father is still alive and if so, is he legally competent. If he is legally competent, the answer is always no you cannot take control of his estate. If he is alive but not competent, you will need to go to court to have yourself appointed the conservator of his estate. If he is dead, it depends on whether he left a will or not. If he left a Will, were you nominated to be the executor? Was someone else? If he did not leave a Will, are you his only child? Was he married at the time of death? In all cases, is there any reason why you would not qualify as the person to be in charge?

Would the house be considered 50% mom's and 50% split between us three girls if my father died without a will in 1973?

Melissa Ann Botting
Answered by attorney Melissa Ann Botting (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Melissa A. Botting
In Texas there are a couple of questions that need to be asked. Was the house community or separate property? Next are there children outside this marriage, such as a previous marriage? Since you say it is your mother and father, I will answer as if your sisters are also the product of this marriage. If the house is community property, it belongs to your mother. If the house was your father's separate property, it belongs to you children. She however, has the right to live in it all of her life. Whether her stay in the nursing home is sufficient to remove that right, is a whole different question.
