Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas
Real Estate
Purchased a home w/mother and step father - my name is on the title. Lived together for 10 years. Paid 1/3 of home expenses (taxes, insurance morgage) and have canceled checks. Had a falling out Aug of 2008 and moved out. Am being told that the home is no longer mine. Wills have been changed to give the home to the ''church.''
Document were forwarded to me to relinquish my rights, I refused to sign believing that when parent are deceased as the 3rd title holder the house returns to me.
Is my thinking correct?

Re: Real Estate
From what you say, the house should be 1/3 yours. They can do what they want with their 2/3. So, when they die, the house will belong to both you and the church with 1/3 being yours. For survivorship rights, you all would have had to make those provisions in your deed.
