Husband mother has Inheritance gifted threw her young life farm land in family for 80 years than she receives the last 18 acres for ten dollars on deed. She keeps all property separate from second husband. She dies, her will states land goes to her children all is fine 15 years go by oil & gas company wants a lease they find the 18 acres deed and say it is community property, 2 husband died he left living trust with a friend in charge no problem. no children ect. Is the man he left his stuff to entitled to the seperate property that has been Inheritaned Or can argue with the tile company that it has always been gifted and farm is worth more than 10 dollars. would that not fall under Texas something law this guy does not know about any of this. Nor has there been any conversations. We have no idea what the second husband did with his trust nor do we care, what do we do to fix tile on the 18 acres. we have farmed for 25 years what do we do to protect our property
How did she get the 18 acres? From who? Who was she married to at the time she received it?
from her father they her % all other with love and affection but this last 18 acres was deeded for 10 dollars just in her and brother name than we brought out brother years ago she was married to her second husband one week :( a total gift 143 acres than the 18 ?
She was married to her husband one week at the time the property was deeded to her? Any idea why it was separate from the other property?
her father gave it to her and her brother in bits and pieces we feel the title company did it wrong, it has two dates on it July 1, 1976 than signed July 1 1977 ?? we can show all other was gifted so why 10 dollars then does not make gell ?
It was not seperate thats just the way her father would give to her
that is just the way her father gave property to her and brother that was what was left !
are you there ?
I'll be with you in just a second.
We are helping a number of different customers and sometimes it will be a little while before I can get back to you.How many total deeds were done to her and over what period of time?You mention that you think "the title company did it wrong", what do you think they did wrong?
she was deeded 6 times than the dates on the last one July 1 1976 signed and recorded July 1, 1977 just out of whack and just in her name
Based on the facts you've given then the property that was deeded to her for $10 was not separate property, it would have been community property since it was deed to her during marriage.You could challenge its status and claim that it was a gift but it may be too late, depending on exactly what happened and when. If it was ever addressed in the probate court then whatever it said would control and the only way to get the entire ownership of it now would be to buy the other person out.If no court has EVER addressed the property then your husband could file a Suit to Quiet Title and ask the court to rule that the original deed was equivalent to a gift and that therefore it was not community property but was instead separate property. If the court issued the order then that would resolve any issues that anyone, including the oil and gas company, would have with the ownership.If you would like any additional information or have more questions please don’t hesitate to ask but please do so my clicking on the Reply to Expert tab.We work for Positive Ratings, please click on one of the top three ratings or one of the Smile Faces, as this would be appreciated.
