Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

I would have to read the will of your mother in law, as it may have survivorship requirements of your husband. As for your husband's estate, the Texas intestacy laws would apply. What you would get from him depends on whether the property he had was separate (such as the inheritance from his mother), or community (other property acquired during the marriage.) It would also depend on whether or not he had children outside the marriage.

If you can't tell, this is a fact specific situation. My advice is for you to interview an attorney or two, tell them what happened, and then you can find out what your rights are. Most attorneys (myself included) will review your file at no cost, no obligation.
