Safeguard Your Inheritance

When a Texas resident dies without a valid will, their assets go to their closest relatives. This is a process known as intestate succession. Under intestate succession, the rightful heirs depend on whether the deceased has close relatives. For example:
- If you have a spouse and children: the spouse inherits all community property and â…“ of your separate personal property. The children inherit everything else.
- If you have a spouse but no children: the spouse inherits everything.
- If you have children but no spouse: The children inherit everything.
It’s worth noting that some assets are not impacted by intestate succession laws. This may include life insurance proceeds, IRA or 401(k) funds, and payable-on-death bank accounts. If you feel you’re being denied the inheritance you deserve, contact our Tarrant County estate attorneys today.
