Spousal rights in TX. if you die without a will.

February 23rd, 2009 11:36 AM

Do not assume that your wife or husband will receive their half of a jointly owned house. If they die without a will in the state of TX. , Texas laws control who receives their property at death, as well as the exact amount that is given to each person.

You will receive only your 1/2 of your of the property. The rest is divided in the manner that TX law assumes that most people would prefer.

Any of the following living relatives: Parent, Brother, Sister, Niece, Nephew, Grand-Niece, or Grand-Nephew will have some claim to the deceased spouse's part of the property.

Please see be sure you are both protected with a will.
