A quit claim deed is legal in Texas.  It's purpose is to simply say "I quit claiming any ownership in this property."  \n\nIf there was no will, but the parents' intent was to give the house to your brother in law, and your husband agrees that this was his parent's intent, then there should be no problem in signing.  If instead, your husband expects to get half the property, then don't sign.

Have her sign a quit-claim deed.  I doubt if you can get her to sign it though without some kind of compensation.  Consult your lawyer

Do you have any record, written or witnessed that you jointly paid for the house. Any other commitment, definitely it should be in writing or witnessed.\n\nDO your own homework first. The ownership deed carries your name, in case of faulty payment schedule if you are equally responsible then you are equally rewardable too. In case she has not asked you for any CAPEX sharing earlier, that is her fault.\n\nProvided, you have to agree too -leaglly that is, for her to sell the house. If that deed gives you the right then she cannot keep you out. In fact did you share any or part of the equity, and have record or receipt to show for it? If yes, then it is an open and shut case. She will loose more money than you even by going to court, she had waited long for this and now it she pays a price with a premium.\n\nOtherwise, you have no say/no record whatsoever, just remember that the cost of 1.5" of patch and two moons was that much and hope you got your moneys worth.

Have an attorney help you execute a "Quick Claim Deed."\n\nAlso, it does NOT have to be okayed with your Mortgage lender.  You can have any name(s) you want on the deed.  The deed and the mortgage are two completely different things.

I'm not aware of this particular company, but to the extent that it claims that it can help you recover long lost property belonging to you or your family, these are usually scams.  Before you give this company any money or personal information, you will want to contact the Better Business Bureau AND the Texas Attorney General's Office to see what records they have on such a company.  You will also want to contact the Texas Secretary of State, which should handle business registrations for legitimate businesses operating in Texas.  If the business is listed with the Texas AG's Office, it is likely not a legitimate business since the attorneys general in all states keep records on bad guys whom they have had to investigate.  If it is listed with the Better Business Bureau, check to see what, if any reports have been made against it.  It may be listed with the BBB because it is a member in good standing, or it may be listed because it has been the subject of negative reporting before.  Best of luck to you.  If you follow this advice before doing business with any unfamiliar company or agency, you will likely not be scammed.  I am including links to all three agencies' web sites.

You have to deed the trust to the house. You may need to get permission from the mortgagee bank AND make sure that your TITLE INSURANCE policy still covers you: you probably need to get their written consent also, and perhaps pay them something.\n\nAlso: check on what effect the trust has on your HOMESTEAD RIGHTS in Texas, and on your property taxes.\n\nNormally when a trust deed is written, if it's not to be funded right away a small amount of money -- $1 will do -- is paid in.

Have a title company do an abstract of title.  You will have to pay for this.  You can go to the county clerk's office and do it yourself, but it is time consuming.

It requires somewhat more than just taking care of the property. What you are referring to is called adverse possession, which by Texas law, must be "an actual and visible appropriation of real property, commenced and continued under a claim of right that is inconsistent with and is hostile to the claim of another person." Further, the true owner of the land has a period of time from the commencement of that possession to file a claim, though the time period depends on the circumstances. I would contact a lawyer and see what your options are. If you built a fence around the land and kept it for long enough, it would be yours.
