Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
Heirship
My mother died in 1986 and at the time of her death was
stilled married to my father. She left had no will.
My father wishes to sell the land that the two of them
purchased while she was alive, our childhood home.
I have only one other sibling and I want to know if we are entitled to any of the money made off the sale
of the property?

Re: Heirship
Your father will have to have her estate probated to determine heirship. Then all will have to agree whether the property was community property.
If the real property was community property, you and your siblings would be entitled to half the net value.
