When my father-in-law died, the stepmother-in-law came up with a quit claim deed claiming that everything was now hers, and she did not have to probate his estate. Is this true? We are in Texas

In Michigan you do nor have to go to probate if you have a quick claim deed,if I were you I would seek a lawyer right away,when my father-in-law died and left house to his wife,she became mentally ill and we had house quick claimed to my husband,to protect mother-in-law from outside long distant relatives,he was the only child left,I believe your wife has some rights

No. I would have a lawyer examine any papers this woman has "come up with". Quit claims are normally used in divorces to change ownership of the house, not as a will. I would also check with the Probate court to see if there was a will filed.
