QUESTION - Without a will and after filling an affidavit of heirship with no children born and married for 50 years, can nieces to the deceased spouse inherit property from a surviving spouse in accordance with the Texas laws of descent without a will. The surviving spouse chooses to leave the property to her grandniece from her side of the family and fears that her nieces from her deceased husband may try to contest. Thank you for your help.
Hi corvettegirl,
Normally, the spouse of the deceased person will inherit the property. Nevertheless, it will be better if you could contact a real estate attorney based in your state and take his opinion in this regard. The attorney will be the best person to help you in this matter.
