The verbal contract would not be void just because you disinherited someone. Another option would be to treat the owed money as an advancement in a will. Unless you have a will, you cannot disinherit an heir. You should see an attorney to help you prepare a will.

Texas attorneys who are not licensed to practice in Washington and California probably would not be willing to place liens on property in those states, unless the lien arose from a transaction in Texas.
