    Probate Affidavit

    Being it was paid off and the title was mailed before she died (with evidence), that still wouldn't be considered community property in the eyes of the law? zddoodah brought up a great point: I can understand the medical aspect of this even though my father did spend his savings which he...

    Probate Affidavit

    Another question... My father paid the down payment as well as many maintenance costs on my stepmothers car which was titled in her name (and still is), but the title came after her death. Can he now get the title of the car transferred to his name with a death certificate or is that stuck in...

    Probate Affidavit

    I'm sorry I forgot the car she owned. The house and a car was all my stepmother owned and she owned the house before marrying my father. My father paid $5000 down on my stepmothers car when she bought it and then my stepmother paid all monthly payments until the car was paid off. My father...

    Probate Affidavit

    Didn't come up with a great answers. That is a great point that I hadn't thought about. My step sister was her daughter not my father's daughter. Yes probate was filed months ago, but I don't have exact dates sorry.

    Probate Affidavit

    My stepmother owned the house before she married my father and she was paying all related bills. The house is all of my stepmother's estate. Nothing in bank accounts, etc. My stepmother's neighbor said the daughter tried to sell the house to the neighbor a month before my stepmother died. My...

    Probate Affidavit

    She has possession of the house they lived in already. My father has other property that he moved to because his daughter broke into the house and changed the locks. She also torn the locking mailbox down and replaced it as well. Well my father can't afford a lawyer at this moment so he wanted...

    Probate Affidavit

    My stepmother passed away earlier this year after being in and out of the hospital and having to be in a nursing home for 3 months. My father, her husband, had to pay all nursing home bills until we got her on medicaid. That amounted to around $6,000. He also had to pay a medicaid lawyer which...

    Abandonded Lots with Dangerous Trees that Can Fall on my House

    One more thing I forgot to mention. The cost of removing the trees may very well be more than the property is worth. Might be a reason for him not to claim the property.

    Abandonded Lots with Dangerous Trees that Can Fall on my House

    I spoke with the county attorney six months ago and she said they won't foreclose for a minimum of 5 years. She said the value of the property is too low to mess with. However, I know of other properties nearby that haven't been foreclosed on and the taxes haven't been paid in over 15 years. If...

    Abandonded Lots with Dangerous Trees that Can Fall on my House

    I checked at the said property's local county clerks office and his dead father is on file as the owner. I also searched the county clerks e-documents websites for the county of his last home address and there are lots of documents associated with his dead father from 1950's-2008, but no probate...

    Abandonded Lots with Dangerous Trees that Can Fall on my House

    The owner on file died about 14 years ago (confirmed by obituary), but the taxes were still being paid for years mostly under his name and sometimes his sons name. The owner had a wife that died about 8 years ago (confirmed by obituary), but the taxes were still being paid up until about 3 years...

    Abandonded Lots with Dangerous Trees that Can Fall on my House

    I own a home in a Texas community where there are many tall pine trees all around. Next to my house there are two lots (equaling roughly 1.5 acres) that are full of brush and pine trees (no house). There are several dead trees that will soon fall on my fence and shed and one tall dead pine tree...
