My spouse died, owing a lot of debts. Can the creditors take my homestead?



Not necessarily. Sec. 271 of the Texas Probate Code offers protection for the surviving spouse regarding the homestead (and other exempt property as set forth in the Texas Constitution.) This applies whether or not the homestead is separate or community property (Sec. 282 of the Texas Probate Code.)
