Personal Jurisdiction On The Internet - Whether an individual or entity has established the “minimum contacts” necessary for a Texas court to obtain jurisdiction over them has been the subject of numerous court cases at both the state and federal level in Texas. The courts thus far have established a perhaps deceptively simple distinction between “interactive websites,” through which personal jurisdiction can be established, and “passive websites” only used for advertising where it cannot.

How To Choose Civil Attorneys In Austin, Texas - If you were served with a lawsuit in Texas, you should not take the matter lightly, no matter how you feel about the case or the person who is suing you. Even if you believe the case brought against you is completely without merit and/or that the plaintiff does not have a leg to stand on, your failure to take the matter seriously could result in a judgment against you – one that could cost you hefty sums of money.

The Right To Partition - A final and important right of a co-owner is the right to partition. Generally, each co-owner has the unilateral right to partition the property. Such a partition can occur voluntarily through a written agreement or involuntarily through court action. A partition action will result in the division of the co-owned property into distinct, separate portions. If a physical division of the property is not possible, a court may order a sale of the property with the proceeds divided proportionately among the co-owners.

Can A Minor Own Property Outside Of A Will Or Trust? Can I Buy A Property And Have It In My Child’s Name?

Because they are not fully adults, minors cannot own property. You can put property in a child’s name, even if they are underage. However, we do not recommend it because of the difficulties it can cause.

A child can be added to the deed, but issues arise if you ever want to sell the property. The child cannot sign to sell it, and even if you are the parent, you are not the legal guardian who can sell their assets. This situation can cause enormous problems.

What Planning Documents Do Parents Need In Texas To Protect And Provide For Their Minor Children?

Setting up documents for children is important because a minor cannot own assets. If the children have an inheritance, they cannot own it.

When someone passes without an estate plan, there is nothing set up for their children. In these cases, the court has to get involved, and it is usually a very long and expensive process to set something up to hold money for minor children.

What Basic Key Documents Are Generally Involved In Estate Planning?

There are many basic documents used in estate planning. The primary decision we make in the estate planning process is whether your core document, the main focus of your estate plan, will be a will or a trust.

A will is a document that you would execute, put in a drawer, and not have to think about again. It is best practice to check your will every five to seven years to make sure it still suits your needs. However, you normally would not need to do anything else if there were no changes.
