Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

If she merely lives there and is not on the title then she does not own the house.

I urge you to write a will. Probate in Texas without a will is expensive and time consuming.

I don't use them but there are many free will kits on-line.

You might look on www.texaslawhelp.org and see if they have a will form.

Of course, if she dies, the other children might try to come into your home and take her stuff. This happens often - sometimes while the parent is dying "someone" (always unknown) goes into the empty house & "stuff" disappears. Grief does bad things to people.

Your mother needs a will to so that the children will know what her wishes were.

You might encourage her to write down on a piece of paper who she would like to receive her personal belongings after she dies.

I hope this helps. If not, hire an attorney in your area. Look on this website and on www.avvo.com for help.
