North Carolina and United Church. Dodd engaged you, and the LAW PRESENTED BY THE STATE BAR OF TEXAS your tenant agreed that you would reimburse him, the law provides that any permanent improvement attached to the structure legally becomes part of the building and belongs to the landlord. I've been living with a man for three years, and we consider ourselves married although we never got marriage, license or had wedding. If we decide to split up, do we have to go to court and get a divorce? Because a common law marriage is just as valid as a traditional marriage, a divorce is necessary in both types of marriages. Accordingly, any property or children resulting from either type of marriage must be divided between the husband and wife.

The law defines a common law marriage as one where the partners agree to marry, hold themselves out as married, and live together. Contrary to popular belief. there is no minimum number of, years a couple must live together to have a legal common law marriage. Send your questions to "You and the Law." State Bar of Texas, P.O.

DISCOVER our BARGAINS My Father has written a will in longhand for himself. Is that legal will under Texas law? Handwritten wills are legal in Texas, if they are entirely hand-written, by the same person who signs the will. The will is not valid if it is typed or is any form other than the handwriting of the person making the will.

There is no requirement that a handwritten will be signed by a witness. Problems which arise in handwritten wills generally involve failure to make alternate provisions in case a person named as an heir dies before the will is probated, or failure to explain precisely how property is to be divided. A tenant in my rent house asked me if he could build a storage room over the patio. I told him to go ahead, so long as he made the patio roof and walls compatible with the existing roof. Now, he is moving out of the house and wants me to pay him for the lumber or he threatens to remove the room and take the lumber with him.

Do I have to pay him for the lumber he used to build the room? No, you do not have 1 to reimburse your tenant for the cost of the room he built on your house.
