Sole beneficiary, Homestead tenants in common
Wood County Texas. Husband died with a will. I am sole beneficiary. The only money he had left after a long illness was $ 565 dollars. The final expenses were over 5,000 which I paid with my credit card . Our homestead is titled as tenants in common 50/50 as I paid off the mortgage (33,000) with an inheritance from my mother 18 years ago. Now I am being told the will will have to be probated and an attorney will cost 2,500 dollars! And an inventory. All he had left was broken lawnmower, a very few hand tools and old clothes. What do I do?
