Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
The court appointed attorney of my mother's estate has added the following "Teh receipt is also a RELEASE of (Name of Attorney), Administrator of this Esate of any liability as to his mangement of this estate, inm teh RECEPT FOR ASSETS OF AMINSITRATION ADN RELEASE. The release of any management liability does not give me a warm fuzzy that my rights are protected in the future if his management of the estate was not managed in the best interest of the heirs. Should I line out the statment and ititial it before having my signature notarized?

First, you can get your own Administrator. You dont have to use the Court appointed one, and it is much less expensive!
Second, you can call the Court and just ask them to appoint someone else since you are not comfortable signing a advance waiver of your legal rights. It probably wont hold up in Court anyway.
Third, you can sign it with or without lining out the language and then file a Grievance with the State Bar of Texas for the potential ethics violation!
