See an Attorney before it is done improperly.How to transfer property deed in texas when one spouse dies ?
No one should ever transfer title (esp. to one's home; esp. in a state like Texas) without speaking to a lawyer first. It could cost him a bundle if he does the wrong thing.
It depneds on how your mon and dad held title. Your mom's estate MAY have to go throught probate.





See and Attorney.
Easiest way is probate. Though if that doesnt work, all the possible heirs need to sign off their inheired interest. THis can get tricky esp if there are other kids to a previous marriage or out of wedlock. Best thing is go to a local title company or realestate attny. How the mothers half interest (if homestead or held jointly) is divided can be tricky. If this is not your mothers homestead and she wasnt on the deed before hand, you will have no issues. More info is needed to give a clear answer
