Sherman, TX asked in Estate Planning for Texas

Q: Parents passed. Niece insist on receiving tax notices because her now deceased mother was designated to receive notice

Our parents passed away leaving real estate to four adult children. We all agreed the oldest sister would be responsible for receiving the tax notice and all did pay their share. Our oldest sister passed away and again a sibling was agreed upon to receive the tax notice. Now there is a niece that is insisting that she is the one that will continue to receive the notices that her mother was receiving. I did update the information with property tax assessor's office and I found out the niece has a friend in this office that has changed everything to her name.

A: I don't see a question here. You may want to discuss your situation with a probate attorney regarding the request from your niece and the real property.
