What Happens When Someone Dies Without a Will in Texas

from The David Pannell Podcast

Earl was a lifelong Fort Worth resident who did things his own way. He didn't trust banks, didn't trust doctors, and definitely didn't trust lawyers. So he never made a proper will. When he passed away at 81, his three kids were left with a house in Haltom City, a coffee can of cash, and absolutely zero legal documentation. In this video, I walk through exactly what happened next, and what every homeowner in Dallas-Fort Worth can learn from the mess Earl's family had to untangle. Watch my video to see how the family got through it and what you can do to avoid the same situation.
