回复 1楼 Bloomwood 的帖子 有关房子: 没卖掉的房子是婚后买的，属于共同房产the community real estate，应该归女方 但是在死之前把一个房子卖了，变成现金后，可能算是community property，和男方婚前子女一人一半。 google了Taxas的law; 看有下划线的语句。 关键词：Does a spouse automatically inherit everything in Texas (wmtxlaw.com) Real Estate Ownership and Inheritance Rights Real estate is often one of the most valuable assets in a person’s estate. Understanding how it is treated under Texas inheritance laws is crucial. In Texas, real estate is considered separate property if owned by one spouse before the marriage. It is also considered separate property if acquired by one spouse during the marriage through gift or inheritance. Real estate acquired during the marriage with joint funds is generally considered community property. If a spouse dies without a will, their share of the community real estate will typically pass to the surviving spouse. If the deceased spouse had children from a previous relationship, the surviving spouse may only receive a life estate in one-third of the separate real estate. The remainder passes to the children.
When a husband dies, what is the wife entitled to in Texas? In Texas, the wife gets all community property if the couple had no kids or all kids are from their marriage. If there are children from other marriages, she gets half of the community assets. She also gets one-third of his separate personal property with a life estate in his real estate.
她在德州。她的情况是这样的，她和他老公结婚的时候她老公有个22岁的儿子，结婚后她和老公买了两个房子，去年她老公过世了。过世前她老公住在老人院，快要过世前，她把两个房子上老公的名字都拿掉了。后来她老公过世后她把其中一个房子卖掉了。现在老公的儿子来要一半的房产，一半卖掉的房子的钱。
我理解是她应该先拿一半，然后分剩下的一半。也就是她拿3/4，老公的儿子拿1/4。但她说他老公的儿子说他的律师说他有一半。
她在德州。
找律师扯很花钱，看看房子值多少钱啰，
自己瞎理解没有用，得看那个州的法律怎么规定的。
婚前财产不会直接归配偶，会保障婚前婚外的子女的一份。如果未成年更要保障。

你理解的配偶拿一半， 然后配偶和其他受益人再分另一半是中国分法.
德州的法律是，如果没有遗嘱，死者婚后的共同财产配偶全得。如果死者其他婚姻有小孩，未亡配偶保留其一半的共同财产，已故配偶的一半则平均分配给子女。死者婚前的个人财产，配偶得1/3，所有小孩来平分剩下的2/3。
共同财产：生存的配偶通常会继承所有的共同财产。这意味着他们有权获得所有在婚姻期间共同购买或共同拥有的财产。
去世方的单独财产：对于去世方的单独财产（即在婚姻之前或婚姻期间通过继承或赠与获得的财产），如果去世方有来自另一段婚姻的孩子，生存的配偶通常会继承单独财产的三分之一，剩余的部分将由去世方的孩子继承。
所以，金融账户加好beneficiaries，其他财产留好遗嘱，省得身后扯皮。
我觉得她可以这样操作。
既然“快要过世前，她把两个房子上老公的名字都拿掉了。” 老公的名字拿掉后，房子就只有她的名字了。这两个房子就可以看作是她单独的财产，而不是遗产了。因为她要拿掉她老公的名字，必须得到老公的同意。这完全可以看成是老公给她的gift。她卖的是她自己的房子。
你朋友可以找个律师问问。
