  • Community Property and Homestead Rights in Texas Impact the Probate Process

    Community Property and Homestead Rights in Texas Impact the Probate Process
    Jul 19 2024

    One of the most misunderstood areas of community property law in Texas that impacts the probate process – and one of the most hotly litigated – is the difference between community and separate property.

    Hosts Stacy Kelly and Keith Morris of The Blum Firm describe these “murky waters” when someone dies without a will and heirs argue about property left behind. In addition to clarifying community property versus separate property, they explain subtleties of probate homestead rights in Texas and how pre- and post-nuptial agreements can be incorporated into an estate plan.

  • Independent Estate Administration in Texas: Benefits and Drawbacks

    Independent Estate Administration in Texas: Benefits and Drawbacks
    Jul 18 2024

    Independent administration enables Texas estates in probate to proceed with limited court involvement, so the estate doesn’t have to go “mother, may I” to the court for every request. But the procedure has its complexities, and its downsides.

    In this episode of Before You Go…, join Stacy Kelly and Keith Morris of The Blum Firm as they discuss the basics, advantages and disadvantages of independent administration–a procedure somewhat unique to Texas probate. Stacy and Keith explore how independent administrations come about both in the case of a will or by agreement of the beneficiaries, the procedural requirements for filing an independent administration, some of the unique features of the procedure, the differences between dependent and independent administration, and one scenario where it’s more advantageous to set up a dependent administration, no matter the benefits of independent administration.
