What is the name of your state? TX
My father is terminally ill in the hospital and has no will.
My stepmother of 15 months is living in the hospital room with him and denying him fluids in an effort to hasten his death.
Is there any way I can have her removed from the room?
His estate will be divided without a will, however, she is already moving in her 4 sons and their families. I went to the home to retrieve family photos and such and she threatened to call the police. My father knew I had a key and told me I could come in anytime. She has since changed all locks and chained the doors.
I've reviewed TX law and found that 2/3 of his estate should go to myself and my sister with the wife getting 1/3 - seperate property. My fear is that they will steal his collectible heirlooms(plates, coins, etc...) before I even have a chance to have the estate appraised. Can I freeze the estate untill appraisal and will the estate pay for the appraisal fees?
This is a very bad situation as she is using my fathers money to battle with and her sons are insane drug addicts playing with guns in my dads living room while he dies in the hospital.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
