Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
affadavit of heirship
What exactly is this affadavit? Parents had wills. Were advised to do an affadavit in order for a brother to continue to live in house. Did so. Now told in doing this it turned over homestead solely to him. Please explain.

Re: affadavit of heirship
you should probate the wills within 4 years or at least see a lawyer. the affidavit is for tax exempt purposes..not title..but without seeing affidavit, a lawyer could not be sure...call us or call a local lawyer to settle the estate now..
Re: affadavit of heirship
Guess you have at least 2 choices. (1) ask that person who gave you the advise to do the affidavit, or (2) maybe now is the time to start doing things right and consult with a lawyer. There is too much missing information to discuss your problem here and I wouldn't do that anyway. Good Luck.
Re: affadavit of heirship
An affidavit of heirship doesn't convey title. However, you should show the document you signed to an attorney asap to make sure that your interests are protected.
