My mother and father were married only once and I am one of only two sons. My father passed away without leaving a will. My brother and I agree we want everything to go to our mom, not claiming any inheritance, until our mother passes away. My father had some royalty that was seperate property that we want our mother to have until she passes. The only other property is come acreage that was held in common. Can a statement be made to this extent in a Affidavit of Heirship? If so, what would some example verbiage be? This is the state of Texas.

I strongly urge you to contact a probate lawyer in Texas. Texas law may have a procedure that allows you to officially disclaim your inheritance, but you need guidance from a competent Texas attorney. Failure to proper advice might resulted in some unexpected and unpleasant tax consequences.

if your parents are still together the estate goes to her because the estate is half hers. You should contact a lawyer, usually you have to wait to see if anyone tries to make a claim on the estate. sorry for your loss

The problem is that there was no will by your dad. The estate has to go through probate.
