1 Answer from Attorneys
Since your father passed away without a Will, he has an intestate estate. Your Mom will need to open his estate in El Paso County as an intestate estate. This process will allow the house to be transferred to her by the Personal Representative of the estate. Your Mom has the first priority to be appointed by the Court as the Personal Representative.
El Paso County has a probate packet she can obtain, or she can contact an attorney of her choosing to assist her.
