Child’s Right Born After Will Made
I am trying to help my two neices, one of which was born after her parents made their will. Their father passed away in Nov. 2005. I understand that the older daughter was in the will, the younger was born after the will was made. As of yet, a will has not been filed in the Dallas County Clerk’s office.
All land etc. was in both husband and wife’s name. They want to obtain some of their father’s personal belongings but their mother (and her new husband) are not being at all reasonable. What can they do? Neither daughter has the monetary means to hire a lawyer. Is there any group of lawyers that help people in their situation? One daughter has two children and her husband is currently unemployed. The other daughter is a single mom with one child. Both live in mobile homes on their mother’s property. The single mom was supposed to have been given the title to her mobile home but the new husband is fobidding it. These girls really need someone to help them and I am unable to do so financially.

Problem with landowner My sister committed suicide back in April.
Problem with landowner
My sister committed suicide back in April. She left lots of debts – credit cards, mobile home, horse trailer and land. I know that we have to sell her assets (a truck and 4 horses) to pay these debts – but that won’t cover everything. The mobile home and horse trailer companies are going to ‘repose’ these to try and collect what is owed.
But the problem lies with the lady my sister was buying the land from. This was one of those private lease to own. She paid a montly amount and in a few years would own the property. Of course this means that she had no equity – that I know.
BUT my nephew has been paying the lease to own amount because the mobile home was still there (waiting on company to send out pick up people) and there were 4 horses of Carol’s on the land.
We just found out that the landowner has sold the land and taken the horses to another property that she owns. My nephew has never signed any waiver to the property nor was he given any kind of eviction notice. We were told that they are going to post these horses for sale as ‘Abandoned’ and keep the money.
Can they sell the land without giving him notice to vacate the property? Can they ‘steal’ the horses? What exactly are his options?
Transfer Title to Mobile Home My father passed without a will.
Transfer Title to Mobile Home
My father passed without a will. His only asset was a mobile home. I know someone who would like to purchase it. Is it necessary to file a probate?
What do I do next?
What do I do next?
I let my neighbor buy a piece of my property to put a mobile home on. Before she died she showed me her will which stated the land would be returned to me after her death. The rest was to be sold and divided among her 6 adult children.It has been 6 months and no-one in the family has gone to a lawyer to start probate. There was an executor named, he declined and another sibling took over. All the belongings are gone, and now one of the siblings has moved into the home. How do I get to the next step. The siblings know of the will.It appears that the only asset left is the mobile home which is declining rapidly.
non-relative inheritance in an intestate death My long-term partner passed away.
non-relative inheritance in an intestate death
My long-term partner passed away. We were not married, nor had we registered as domestic partners (we planned to do so this January). The decedent’s family agrees that the intent was for me to inherit what little property there is. His mother is the legal next of kin. What do we need to do so she has no tax burdens and the property transfers to me instead? We’re hoping this will not be too complicated a procedure. There is a mobile home and two vehicles, all owned free and clear.
