Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
Who inherists home after death
Mother passed away. Three brothers by previous marriage and one sister as heirs. One brother has had will thrownout,to try to keep sister out of house. The sister is the only full heir to father and mother who purchased the home,(both deceased). The will states sister can live in home as long as she is divorced. Since she is the only child that was born to both parents on the deed of the house, does she have any recourse by using this affiliation.

Re: Who inherists home after death
Good question. But first, who do the brothers belong to? Mother or father? Second, what was the legal disposition of father's estate; presuming that father predeceased mother. Then, when did the first parent die? The laws of inheritance changed in the 1990's.
