Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

land title found, land title lost?

So, you should have had a title, perhaps. Being an executor is not the same thing as inheriting the land. There are also rules concerning adverse possession or limitation title. If you wait too long to regain your claim to land, you can lose your claim to land. Three, five, ten and twenty five year statutes of limitation could cause problems for many types of land claimants. You need to see a lawyer now, it may be too late, but it may not.....

Wills & Probate and why

Texas law allows 4 years to probate a will, after wards you may be able to "probate" the will as a munimnet of title only, meaning you can record the will through the probate courts and the will will show how title vests. You should look in your father's will t osee who he listed as his heir(s). You should also check for your grandfather's will and see if ther ewas a probate, or if your father simply took his father's land bvecaue there was no one else. This is a problem that needs a lwaywer, becaseu you may avae an adverse possession claim building against your claim of the property. If your father left his interest in the land to your sister, then you may have no claim, but you must see his will, and your grandfather's will, if any. It gets complex without being able to ask more questions.. Find a good lawyer and have him straighten out the title problem
