Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
My mother in law is trying to sell some land. My father in law passed away in 1996 and his name is still on the deed. He had no will and never went to probate. Everything was awarded to his spouse. He has 2 biological children who were adopted in 1975 he has never had a relationship with them. Do we have to get the biological children to sign to give us permission to sell it?

How was "everything awarded to his spouse"? Was the land in FIL's name only or in both names?

Call us or any probate lawyer. If the will was not probated within 4 years, probate will be required to convey title of the land..which goes by the laws of descent..ie to your mother in law and all his children
