Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas
Sell of house
My father died and left no will. We are in process of selling the house he bought with my mom. My mom died in 1992 with no will as well. The house was bought in both of their names. I have 2 sisters and a brother. The brother is not a boligical child of my father. Is he entitled to any of the proceeds on the sell of the house. Also, is the son of a deceased brother entitled as well?

Re: Sell of house
I would need for you to map out the family tree to be sure. However, to answer your question, when your mom died, the law in 1992 stated that all HER children would receive a share of the property. When your father subsequently died, all HIS children receive a share. It's not too difficult to clear the title, though it's easier if everyone gets along.
