If the mortgage raised your payments due to your taxes being escrowed make sure your taxing authority knows you're a senior so that your tax bracket is frozen and won't increase each year. You might file a chapter 7 bankruptcy to get rid of unsecured debt like credit cards and medical... View More

If you are wholly counting on the State for your case it will take time as they handle thousands of cases. One way to make a case go faster is to hire a lawyer.

You need to search for resources in the area you live in as soon as possible. It is possible for the Sheriff to come evict you at any time. Try your local city government, city councilman, salvation army, area council of government, churches, veteran's groups, etc.

My father has property located in Angelina and Polk County Texas

answered on Dec 4, 2019
I agree with the other attorney. Your Aunt may not know that she actually has to go to probate with the will, many people believe that because they were listed in the will that they automatically have the authority to act once the person dies.
I have copied and edited a will/last testament, power of attorney and medical directive from online to fit my situation. I can file them with the county clerks office. Do I still need a probate attorney?
