2. Community Property & Your Homestead Residence

Texas is a community property state, which means that, when a married couple buys a home together, each person owns half of the house, and title is held 50% in wife's name and 50% in husband's name.  When one spouse passes away, their property rights to the homestead residence DO NOT automatically transfer to the surviving spouse.  Thus, probate is required after one spouse passes away.  Many, many times, I find myself in my office conference room explaining to widows/widowers why they have to probate their spouses' estate.  A lot of folks are surprised by this.  You can avoid this issue entirely by redoing your Deed, essentially, to add a Survivorship Agreement to your Deed for your homestead residence.  In fact, we can do it for any property where you want to create a survivorship agreement amongst the owners.
