Family Law

Well,  lets take a brief look at some of the things that can happen if you pass without a Will or other instrument to control where your property goes after you depart:

*Married-All kids of marriage-Spouse gets all community property and 1/3 separate property (Generalization)

**Married-Kids from outside of marriage _UT OH_: Kids outside of marriage get 1/2 of the community property and Spouse gets 1/2 of the  community property AND Kids outside of marriage take  2/3 of separate property.

NOTE:  These kids can even be ones you have not seen in 30 years, they still, by law, get to take 1/2 of everything you acquired since you were married. (THINK ABOUT THAT).

What is Community Property?  Texas Family Code Section 3.002 states "Community property consists of the property, other than separate property, acquired by either spouse during marriage. (SO ITS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE OBTAINED SINCE YOUR MARRIAGE. THAT COULD BE QUITE A LOT)

What is Separate Property?  TFC 3.001 states: "A spouses separate property consists of (1) the property owned or claimed before marriage: (2) the property acquired by spouse during marriage by gift, devise, or descent; and (3) the recovery for personal injuries sustained by the spouse during marriage, except any recovery for loss of earning capacity during marriage. (SO IF YOU HAD A LOT BEFORE THE MARRIAGE AND YOU WANT YOUR SPOUSE TO GET IT WHEN YOU DEPART, YOU NEED A WILL OR OTHER INSTRUMENT TO MAKE SURE THIS HAPPENS)

Business Law

Civil & Commercial

NOT  Married?  Then your property goes to parents and/or siblings, and or nieces and nephews and/or ......... all the way down to LAUGHING HEIRS (Folks you did not even know were kin to you).  If a Probate action is filed the process will look to find a living heir to give your property to if you Pass without a Will or other instrument controlling disposition of your property when you Depart.

NOTE:  NOTHING ON THIS SITE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS LEGAL ADVICE, IF YOU NEED LEGAL ASSISTANCE YOU WILL NEED TO SPEAK TO A LICENSED TEXAS ATTORNEY.
