"I want to sell the property."

"I don't." 👀

That's one of the most common disputes among co-owners of real estate.

Whether you're dealing with inherited property, former partners, or family members, Texas law provides a mechanism to resolve the deadlock: a partition action.

🏠 The property may be divided among the owners.

💰 Or the court may order a sale and distribute the proceeds.

When co-owners can't agree, a partition action can help bring the dispute to an end.

It usually starts with a call about a house they love. Then a question about paragraph 7D in the contract. Then you're explaining something you were never trained to explain. 📞

It's not a knock on your skills, it's just where the line sits under Texas law. Realtors can fill in the blanks. Explaining what those blanks legally mean is a different job. 📋

Our free 7-part series is built to help you recognize those moments before they turn into liability, and know exactly who to bring in when they do.

Think a loved one's will was signed when he lacked capacity? 👇

The more information you bring to your strategy session, the better your attorney can evaluate potential claims and provide meaningful guidance. 📂⚖️

Before your consultation, gather:

📄 Any prior wills, trusts, or estate planning documents

📄 The will in dispute and any probate court filings

📄 Medical records, diagnoses, and the names of treating physicians

📄 A list of medications taken around the time the will was signed

📄 Information about who arranged the attorney meeting, selected the attorney, or was present when the will was signed

📄 Documents containing the decedent's signature from the same time period

📄 Names and contact information for family members, heirs, beneficiaries, and key witnesses

📄 A timeline of significant events before and after the will was signed

📄 Emails, text messages, letters, or notes discussing changes to the estate plan

These documents and details can help your attorney evaluate potential issues involving capacity, undue influence, or the validity of the will.

🗣️ Also be prepared to explain the specific facts that caused you to question your loved one's capacity at the time the will was signed. ⏱️

When there's no will, family disagreements can quickly become legal disputes. 👇

If a person dies without a will, Texas intestacy laws determine who inherits their property.

But probate disputes often arise over:

⚖️ Heirship and inheritance rights
⚖️ Distribution of estate assets
⚖️ Appointment of estate representatives
⚖️ Ownership of real property and family assets

What starts as uncertainty can turn into a contested probate proceeding.

Knowing your rights early can make all the difference. ⏳

Not every real estate problem requires a lawyer. These five are worth a call. 👇🚨

🚩 Unclear title history
Liens, missing heirs, ownership disputes, or other title issues can delay or derail a transaction.

🚩 Boundary or co-owner disputes
Fence lines, access easements, shared driveways, and inherited property often create conflict.

🚩 Deeds that don't add up
Errors, missing signatures, odd dates or names, conflicting records, or unexpected ownership claims can create serious problems.

🚩 Complicated commercial leases
Commercial lease terms can carry significant legal and financial consequences long after signing.

🚩 Owner-financed or FSBO transactions
Without agents involved, it's critical to ensure the contract properly protects your interests.

Any of these issues can become far more expensive to fix after the deal closes.

A quick legal review today can help prevent a costly dispute tomorrow!

Your clients ask questions like these all the time. 👇

👉"What does 'as-is' actually mean?"
👉"Can the seller back out now?"
👉"What happens if financing falls through?"

The honest answer is that explaining what those provisions legally mean crosses into territory your license doesn't cover, even when you know exactly what the client needs to hear.

Our free 7-part series breaks down where your role ends, where legal guidance begins, and how to protect yourself and your clients along the way.

Something about a loved one's will just doesn't add up? 👇

A will may be challenged when:

📝 Legal signing requirements weren't followed

🧠 The person lacked capacity to make the will

⚠️ Someone exerted undue influence over the person's decisions

Family concerns don't automatically mean a will is invalid, but they shouldn't be ignored either.

Texas law sets strict deadlines for contesting a will, so timing matters. ⏳

Here's a clause most buyers and sellers skim right past. 👀

TREC and TAR contracts include a default provision that outlines what happens if one party fails to perform. While the standard language works in many situations, it may not provide the protection you want if the other side breaches the agreement.

The good news? During negotiations, the parties can modify these provisions to better address their specific risks and goals. What makes sense for a buyer may be very different from what makes sense for a seller.

It's easy to overlook this section in the fine print, but it can make a significant difference if a seller backs out for a better offer or a buyer can no longer complete the purchase. 📄

Before you sign, make sure you understand your remedies and whether the contract adequately protects you!
