My wife and I purchased property in Texas 4 years ago.

My wife and I purchased property in Texas 4 years ago. The land supposely had an easement (which my surveyor disagrees with to the point of going to court) running from S-N., to service a mobile home park below us. The owner of this park also has land around us that can be used for ingress and egress for her tenants. But no, she wants to take me to court so that she can continue using my property because it is more convenient. Her property could have a road cut and graveled within 2-3 days at most…incidently by her son who is in the business. Here’s what I have done so far, I placed a sign at the entrance of my property to tell her tenants this entrance is going to be closing on 4/5/10. Do I have the right to do this, and can I place a gate there as well.???? Her attorney has already sent me a letter stating that he will take me to court an charge me with everything the law will permit if I do the above. Need an answer soon. Thank you, BG.

Conservation Easement
I am a 1/3 heir, along with my siblings respectively receiving 1/3 also. We are to share and share alike. First, it states that the executrix may sell any and all property belonging to the estate, but not divide any of the real estate. The it goes on to state that her power includes the power to ”donate a conservation easement on all or part of my real property to a qualified organization, of my Executor’s choosing.. 1.Is it legal for the executrix to have rewritten and signed the will for my father while she was legal power of attorney and he was in diminished mental capacity? 2.Can she enter us into a binding conservation easement when 2/3 of the heirs are adamately opposed to it? 3.Who can contest the will itself since there is a poison pill clause? 4. Does the attorney she hired to represent her (paid by estate funds) who wrote the will, owe a responsibility to all heirs in the estate?

Power of Attorney Form….Which one is best for my situation?
I have a 36 yr old brother who is somewhat mentally disabled (schizophrenia). He has difficulty managing his affairs on his own, and has recently moved into a personal care home. I am his only living family member (sister) here in Houston. I plan to seek legal guardianship in the near future, however, at this immediate time, I am interested in obtaining ”Power of Attorney” so I can help him resolve some financial issues that occurred (he incurred) w/ his bank/other organizations (i.e., Fiesta) while he was in and out of the psych centers of several different hospitals over the past 3 mos. Although notices were sent to him from his bank, he did not receive them due to his being in the hospital; hence, b/c of his non-response, ”amounts due” have since been turned over to a collection agency. I would like to try and help him in resolving this issue. MY QUES: I understand I need to obtain Power of Attorney in order to even talk w/ the bank/collection agencies about this issue. I’ve noticed there is both a ”General” Power of Attorney & also a ”Durable” Power of Attorney form online I can download from the Internet (for a small fee). Which one of these forms is most appropriate for my situation? Anything else I need to be aware of? TY.

No will. One son has power of attorney.
My husband’s father recently died in Texas. The oldest son in Texas has Power of Attorney. He says there is no will. He is not offering any info about the estate. Does my husband & his sister have any rights to his estate? Does Power of Attorney give him the right to everything? We are not talking about a big inheritance.
