My elderly parents let our 17 old son move in with them 10 years ago.We told them at the time it would not be safe for them to take him in. This boy was out of control and has had years of medical intervention. He is now almost 27 yrs old and thinks the world owes him a living. I cannot tell you the hardship he has caused our family over the years. My question is what rights does he have to our parents home when they pass? He has moved out for a month or so at a time with women but the folks always took him back in.He seems to think the house is his when they pass. They have a will stating their wishes and it does not include him. We have heard many laws about this in Texas. Not sure what to believe.
Thank you for your help.

Simply living with a relative doesn't impart inheritance rights in any state. Without a will, probate usually passes to living children next, then brothers/sisters, but grandchildren are VERY far down the list if other living relatives are in play. If there IS a will, the will takes precedence.

While pointers can be helpful, ultimately the number one lesson in any legal action is: don't take legal advice from books, family, friends, co-workers, police officers, grocery clerks, web sites, or people on legal message boards. The only person who can give YOU legal advice is YOUR attorney.
