Is there a lemon law equivalent for homes in Texas?
I purchased a newly constructed home in December 2009. It is still under the one year warranty. It has had one problem after another. Leaks, faulty pipes, air conditioning problems, nearly every month something is wrong. Is there the equivalent of a lemon law for a home? I am miserable and hate this home. I have it on the market but there is now another problem and I'm wondering what my rights are. My children hate the home and as a newly single mother of four, I'm concerned now one may want to go live with his father due to the continued problems. He doesn't feel safe. Is there any option for me to get out of this home other than reselling? Please help!

Did my father's quitclaim deed create a new joint tenancy with his wife?
My father and grandfather owned 5 acres as joint tenants with right of survivor ship. Two months before my grandfather passed away, my father conveyed the 5 acres by quitclaim deed, adding his wife to the deed, as joint tenants with right of survivor ship, removing my grandfather___s name from the deed. There is no indication of agreement, signature, etc. from my grandfather. Did this action by my father create a new joint tenancy with right of survivor ship between him and his wife? Or did the act of conveying to a third party terminate the joint tenancy and create a tenancy in common between him and his wife? My father died recently, intestate. He has 4 children from a previous marriage. Are his children entitled to inherit from his estate according to Oklahoma___s Intestate laws, or according to the joint tenancy with right of survivor ship between him and his wife?
