A:
In Texas, for a situation involving the mishandling of a deceased person's property, you may want to consult with an attorney experienced in estate law or probate law. These attorneys handle cases related to the distribution of a deceased individual's assets and can help navigate the legal nuances related to your son's estate and the landlord's actions.
Additionally, if there's a question of unlawful entry or theft, consulting with an attorney experienced in property law or landlord-tenant law might also be beneficial. They can assess the specifics of how the landlord acted and the legality of your daughter's actions in removing the assets.
Lastly, it's important to collect all relevant documentation and evidence, such as communication with the landlord and any agreements or notices regarding your son's property. An experienced attorney will be able to guide you through the legal process, advise you on your rights, and help determine the best course of action to address the issue with your son's assets.
