Summary

If you paid for a house but the seller passed away before transferring ownership, you may have legal recourse. In Texas, oral contracts can be enforceable, and written contracts may be subject to the Statute of Frauds. Your rights could be affected by the probate process. Filing a motion to intervene in the probate case may allow you to participate in the proceedings. While you dont need a lawyer to file this motion, seeking help from a legal aid society or law school clinic is recommended due to the complexity of the issue.
