peer agreement (net): +1| probate homestead vivienda o residencia familiar sucesoria Explanation: "homestead" es la vivienda familiar que goza de ciertos derechos legales, como no ser vendida a la fuerza para hacer frente a las deudas y acreedores, al objeto de garantizar el alojamiento de la familia. En caso de fallecimiento de uno de los cónyuges, la vivienda familiar queda a disposición del cónyuge supérstite (e hijos menores si los hubiere). "***A probate homestead*** is one that the court sets apart out of the estate property for the use of a surviving spouse and the minor children or out of the real estate belonging to the deceased." http://www.answers.com/topic/homestead -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2012-02-29 17:28:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.jstor.org/pss/3479115 El derecho del cónyuge supérstite a ocupar la vivienda familiar prevalece en todo caso, aun cuando esta vivienda aparezca como legada a otra persona en el testamento del causante. El juez debe separar la vivienda familiar del patrimonio sucesorio y asignarla directamente al cónyuge supérstite e hijos menores. "A Homestead is generally defined as "the dwelling" house constituting the family residence together with it's land on which it is situated and the appurtenances connected there with. Unlike some states, Texas does not require a formal designation of the property as a homestead. For the qualifying property, the Homestead protection arises automatically. A surviving spouse has probate homestead rights, that being, if the decedent is survived by a spouse or minor child/children the spouse is entitled to occupy the homestead as long as he or she chooses to occupy it. The surviving spouse has what amounts to a life estate. When the spouse fails to occupy the homestead, the right ceases. The surviving spouse's right to occupy the homestead is independent of title; if the property was devised to someone else, such person takes title subject to the spouse's right of homestead occupancy. The property cannot be sold or partitioned out from the person asserting the homestead, and this homestead right is not extinguished by the surviving spouse's remarriage. The fact that a surviving spouse owned another house in which he or she could live in does not preclude the surviving spouse's homestead right. If the occupancy right is not claimed by the surviving spouse, or if there is no surviving spouse, the minor children can claim it. The children's homestead right of occupancy terminates when the children are no longer minors." http://www.cnthomas.com/Articles-Publications/Qualification-... |
