What is the name of your state? TEXAS I posted before on a different thread so will try this one and see if I can get some answers. My daughter passed away in nov. 2005. She was divorced in 2001. They owned home, property and a business. She was awarded the home and property and he was awarded the business to which they both agreeded upon. My daughter changed the home into her name only shortly after the divorce. Ex moved in with her for some time and moved out 2 months before she died. She had a will made in 1996 while they were still married. She never changed it after the divorce. She willed her entire estate to her mother. Mother was beneficiary and administrator. When will was probated, ex shows up with an attorney claiming commonlaw. Mother hired an attorney then. The attorney has done very very little. Now, this was in 2005 and about 6 months after her death, her ex moves into her home, puts everything in his name, home included, claiming he had a court order, which mothers attorney said he never saw any court order and that was the end of that. Nothing more done to find it or whatever. Mother lives over 1000 miles away so can't go into her attorneys office, everyday, if need be. Mother starts digging on her own, trying to find out all the information she can and low and behold, finds out that exhusband has had his name put on deceased's will as the Administrator. Now, something is terribly, terribly wrong here.This has never gone to court to be settled as 2 court dates were set and cancelled. Exhusband wanted a mediation just before the last court date so he could make a flimsy offer which he knew would not be accepted and buy more time for himself as this would cancel the court date which was set for a couple days later which was exactly what happened. This was the end of February and now, not being able to communicate with mothers attorney, no court date has been set, if it ever is going to be set. Where do you turn and what do you do. Mother would like a different attorney but living so far away and not knowing anything about Texas, it is not easy. Does anyone have ANY advice for me????? This was an only child and it is taking me down to nothing as it seems it will never end so I can try to heal. Please, any help or advice on attorneys in Texas would really be appreciated. I will be waiting and thanks for reading such a long message but that's the only way I can tell the story.
