Q: I was given a warranty deed but I'm confused if it is only for the real estate or is personal property included?
The family has said they are going to auction his personal belongings however there is a lien on the property and also back taxes how can the money made go towards those items or do I need to try to go through probate? I'm not sure what that really is but this is all pretty confusing
A: A warranty deed should cover the real property and any fixtures that are affixed to the property. Since I don't know who "the family" is, or how they relate to you, I cannot give you much of an answer. Also, you are asking me to address Texas law, which I am sure is different than California law. I would find a Probate lawyer and they will tell you much more than I can. Good Luck.
