Brown - I dont have a lot of experience in estate law, and I do not feel comfortable that I can give you a correct answer. Therefore, I want to give you the name of a law firm in Wichita Falls, Texas that can answer the question for you.
The law office of Fudge & Elder deals primarily in estate law and you can speak with either Barney Fudge or Bill Elder. Their number is (940) 569-2201. If you are looking to speak to an attorney closer to where you live, they may be able to give you some recommendations.
Good luck!
