Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
property laws/death of spouse
Is Texas a community property state? My concern is that when one of my parents passes, does the other automatically get the house they purchased together over 50 years ago, no matter whose name it is in.

Yes. And yes, if there is no will and if there are no children outside of the marriage.
