Hello!
My mother-in-law recently passed and did not leave a will. My wife and brother in law are trying to figure out what they need to do. The land is in Lavaca County and is split by 4 siblings. My mother-in-law died without a will and did not leave anything in writing, but wanted the land to go to my brother in law and wife. We are trying to come up with a quit-claim deed for my father-in-law to sign as he does not want anything to do with the property. Here’s what we know. Have F-I-L sign a quit-claim deed: Fill out a Affidavit of Heirship for each surviving child (or one for both?), and send to Lavaca County for each company (Capital Star and National Landmark), that has a stake in the property.
Other than that, we are lost. Does anyone have an attorney in Lavaca County they recommend, or other items we need to complete?
