Hi confuse,

When you sign a declaration of heirship you actually nominate a person who would inherit your property after your death. Thus if you don't sign such a deed, after your death, the property will have to go through the process of probate in order to determine who the successor would be. However I'd like you to elaborate a little on the issue so I can give an accurate answer to your query.

Thank you Jenkin7 for your assistances, Here is the issue my husband and I have two properties in Texas. My husband pass away without a will and he had two kids of prior marriage their mother is refusing that the kids 21 and 18 yrs old sign the declaration of heirship. So at this point I'm unable to sell these properties.

Thanks,

Confuse 0122

Hi confuse,

I really understand your situation and would love to help you out of it, as far as I can.

I think you should negotiate with them and try and buy them out. Unless they sign the declaration of heirship, you cannot get the title to the proeprties. What you can do is you can consult with an attorney who is well-versed in these kind of issues. I'm sure he can provide you with some useful solutions.

Hi Frances,

The declaration of heirship states that your husband, his three half sisters and his one sister from his father's first marriage and his father's second spouse are heirs to his father's property. So the property would be divided between them according to the will left by his father.

Hi sandra,

You need to contact an attorney in this regard. The attorney will go through the documents and check out if it's a fraud or not. If it's not a fraud, then the woman can claim the property based on that document.

Hi JEANETT,

As their is no will, then the heirs of the property will have to file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office. This will help them in transferring the property in their name.

Thanks

Hi ruth,

Your sister's heirs will be entitled for her property. They will receive her property once they file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office.

Thanks

Ruth, you should contact a local attorney and he will let you know about the rule which denies the father to be a part of the adult child's estate.
