vi STATEMENT OF THE CASE
This is an appeal of the dismissal of a baseless cause of action under
TEX.R.CIV.P. 91a. ROA, p. 408. Although seemingly uncomplicated on its face,
the order appealed from arises from a procedurally entangled probate proceeding.1
Appellant’s underlying proceeding for injunctive relief is the sixth sub-
docketed suit within the probate proceeding concerning the Estate of Adel
Sheshtawy, Deceased.2 ROA, p. 7. The first sub-docketed suit involves
Appellant’s declaratory action to establish her status as decedent’s common law
spouse.3 Appellee’s Appendix, Item 6; Second Supplemental Clerk’s Record, pp.
11-224. Appellant’s common law marriage suit was resolved by a Rule 11 and
Final Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) approved by the trial
court July 17, 2013. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 3; ROA, pp. 32, 39-41, 124.
1 Cause No. 407,499; Estate of Adel Sheshtawy, Deceased; Probate Court Number One of Harris County, Texas is the base probate proceeding (“Base Proceeding”); related proceedings were filed under sub-docket numbers Cause No. 407,499-401 through 407,499-407. 2 Cause No. 407, 499-406; Estate of Adel Sheshtawy, Deceased; Probate Court Number One of Harris County, Texas (Valentina’s Injunction Suit”). 3 Cause No. 407, 499-401; Estate of Adel Sheshtawy, Deceased; Probate Court Number One of Harris County, Texas (“Valentina’s Common Law Marriage Suit”). 4 The Second Supplemental Clerk’s Record is referred to herein as “S.S.C.R.”
vii On January 15, 2014, Valentina moved to set aside the order approving the
settlement agreement in the common law marriage action. ROA, p. 140. The trial
court denied the motion on January 30, 2014. ROA, p.163. No appeal was taken.
In the base proceeding, Decedent’s three children were declared the
decedent’s sole lawful heirs. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 5; S.S.C.R., pp. 7-10. The
trial court found that Decedent was not married at the time of his death.
Appellee’s Appendix, Item 5; S.S.C.R., pp. 7-10. No appeal of the heirship
judgment was taken.
In her most recent proceeding,5 Valentina seeks injunctive relief to prevent
the sale of the property despite her contractual obligation to sell it. ROA, p. 7.
In response to Valentina’s Injunction Action, Appellee (“Temporary
Administrator”) asserted affirmative defenses including release, waiver, estoppel
and res judicata. ROA, pp. 99-100.
Temporary Administrator timely moved to dismiss Valentina’s suit for
injunctive relief as a baseless cause of action. TEX.R.CIV.P. 91a.3; ROA, p. 398.
The trial court granted the motion to dismiss. ROA, p. 406.
5 Appellant filed her original petition for injunctive relief in the 165th District Court of Harris County, Texas on April 30, 2014. ROA, p. 7. The District Court granted Appellant an ex parte TRO on April 30, 2014. ROA, p. 17. The proceeding was transferred to Probate Court Number One of Harris County, Texas under Cause Number 407,499-406 by order of the probate court on May 9, 2014. ROA, p. 20.
viii This appeal followed. ROA, p. 408.
ix STATEMENT REGARDING ORAL ARGUMENT
Appellee requests oral argument with respect to the issues presented if the
Court desires an expansion of this written presentation.
x ISSUE PRESENTED
ISSUE 1
Whether the trial court properly dismissed Appellant’s proceeding as a
baseless cause of action pursuant to TEX.R.CIV.P. 91a.
xi STATEMENT OF FACTS
Appellee objects to Appellant’s statement of facts.
Base Proceeding
On August 8, 2011, Adel Sheshtawy (“Adel”) passed away. On September
7, 2011, an application to probate Adel’s will was filed in Probate Court Number
One of Harris County, Texas.6 Upon his death, the divorce proceeding between
Adel and Appellant (“Valentina”) pending in the family court was dismissed for
want of jurisdiction.7 The family court’s interlocutory order finding that a
common law marriage existed between Adel and Valentina became void upon
Adel’s death.8
Valentina’s Common Law Marriage Suit
On November 14, 2011, Valentina filed a petition in the trial court seeking a
declaratory judgment that she was Adel’s common law spouse and that Adel was
6 Cause No. 407,499; In the Estate of Adel Sheshtawy, Deceased; Probate Court Number One of Harris County, Texas (referred to herein as the “Base Proceeding”). 7 The death of a spouse while divorce was pending relieved the district court of jurisdiction. Parr v. White, 543 S.W.2d 445 (Tex.Civ.App. – Corpus Christi 1976, writ ref’d n.r.e.). 8 Cause No. 2010-48274; In the Matter of the Marriage of Valentina Spassova Sheshtawy and Adel A. Sheshtawy, and in the Interest of Lily Alexandra Sheshtawy, a Child; In the 247th District Court of Harris County, Texas (the “Divorce Suit”). -1- the father of Valentina’s minor child, Lily Sheshtawy (“Lily”).9 Appellee’s
Appendix, Item 6; S.S.C.R., pp. 11-22.
On January 16, 2013, Adel’s two adult children Nader Sheshtawy (“Nader”)
and Hanya Sustache (“Hanya”) filed their answer and counterclaim to Valentina’s
common law marriage suit. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 7; S.S.C.R., pp. 23-34. On
February 28, 2013, the trial court appointed an attorney ad litem to represent Lily’s
interests in that suit. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 8; S.S.C.R., pp. 35-36.
Settlement of Valentina’s Common Law Marriage Suit
On May 28, 2013, Valentina, Lily, Nader and Hanya entered into a Rule 11
and Final Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) in Valentina’s
common law marriage suit. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 3; ROA, pp. 32-41. The
settlement agreement provided that the property would be sold, Valentina would
receive a portion of the sales proceeds, and another portion of sales proceeds
would be used to acquire Lily’s new homestead. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 3;
ROA, pp. 32, 34-35.
9 Cause No. 407,499 - 401; In the Estate of Adel Sheshtawy, Deceased; Valentina Spassova Tasseva Sheshtawy vs. Adel Sheshtawy, et al.; Probate Court Number One of Harris County, Texas (referred to herein as “Valentina’s Common Law Marriage Suit”). -2- Valentina has been represented by multiple attorneys since 2011 to assert
and defend her rights and purported status as Adel’s common law spouse.10
Valentina was represented by counsel when she negotiated and signed the
settlement agreement. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 3; ROA, pp. 32, 36.
Valentina’s minor child was represented by her attorney ad litem, who also signed
the settlement agreement. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 3; ROA, pp. 32, 36, 39.
Before signing the settlement agreement, neither Valentina nor Lily
requested the homestead to be set aside. Likewise, neither objected to the trial
court’s order approving family allowance or its order approving Temporary
Administrator’s preliminary inventory for failure to set aside the property as their
homestead.
The attorney ad litem expressly approved the terms of the settlement
agreement as being in Lily’s best interest. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 4; ROA, pp.
124-126. The trial court found the settlement agreement to be in Lily’s best
interest and approved it. ROA, pp. 124-126.
10 Attorney Ellen Yarrell in the Divorce Suit; Attorneys Aaron Pool and Misty McDonald in the Base Proceeding and Common Law Marriage Suit; McDonald Worley in the Common Law Marriage Suit; John Elliott in the Base Proceeding and Common Law Marriage Suit; Peter Bennett in Cause No. 2014-53073; Valentina Sheshtawy v. McDonald S. Worley; 189th District Court of Harris County, Texas (“Valentina’s Malpractice Suit”). -3- Temporary Administrator’s Efforts to Sell the Property
On October 14, 2013, Temporary Administrator filed his application to sell
the property. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 11; S.S.C.R., pp. 43-55. Valentina and
Lily received notice of the application and the hearing date set for the trial court’s
consideration thereof. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 12; S.S.C.R., pp. 56-57.
Neither Valentina nor Lily objected to Temporary Administrator’s
application to sell the property. On October 31, 2013, the trial court entered an
order approving the sale of the property. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 13; S.S.C.R.,
pp. 58-60; ROA, p. 43.
Temporary Administrator entered a contract for sale of the property on
December 11, 2013. ROA, pp 165, 172.
Valentina’s Efforts to Set Aside Settlement Agreement and Prevent Sale of Property
On January 10, 2014, Valentina filed a motion for rehearing and to set aside
the order of sale of the property in the base proceeding. Appellee’s Appendix, Item
14; S.S.C.R., pp. 61-75. The trial court did not sign Valentina’s proposed order.
On January 15, 2014, Valentina filed a motion for rehearing and to void
settlement agreement in Valentina’s common law marriage suit. ROA, p. 47. On
January 30, 2014, the trial court denied the motion and found that Valentina, as
-4- next friend of Lily, had no standing to challenge the settlement agreement. ROA,
pp. 71-72.
On February 10, 2014, Nader and Hanya filed a motion to show authority in
the base proceeding asking the trial court to require Valentina’s attorneys to
appear and defend their authority to act on behalf of Lily, whose interests were
already represented by a guardian of her estate appointed by the trial court.
Appellee’s Appendix, Item 15; S.S.C.R., pp. 76-79.
On March 3, 2014, the trial court granted Nader and Hanya’s motion to
show authority and ordered that any pleadings purportedly filed in the base
proceeding on behalf of Lily by and through her next friend, Valentina, were
stricken. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 16; S.S.C.R., pp. 80-81. Among the stricken
pleadings was Valentina’s motion for rehearing and to set aside the order of sale of
the property. ROA, p. 47.
Valentina’s Ex Parte Relief
Undeterred, on April 30, 2014 Valentina obtained an ex parte temporary
restraining order from the 165th Harris County district court to prevent the sale of
the property. ROA, p. 17. On May 9, 2014, Valentina’s injunction suit was
transferred to the trial court. ROA, p. 20. On the same day, Valentina filed a
homestead affidavit and lis pendens against the property. ROA, pp. 213, 205.
-5- On May 16, 2014, the trial court denied the petition for temporary
injunction and adjudged that the temporary restraining order dated April 30, 2014
had expired as a matter of law. ROA, p. 93.
Trial Court Dismisses Valentina’s Injunction Suit as Baseless
In response to Valentina’s injunction suit, Temporary Administrator
asserted affirmative defenses including waiver, release, estoppel and res judicata.
ROA, p. 99, 100. On May 23, 2014, Temporary Administrator moved to dismiss
Valentina’s injunction suit as a baseless cause of action pursuant to TEX.R.CIV.P.
91a. ROA, pp. 398-405. The trial court granted the motion on June 23, 2014.
ROA, p. 406-407.
This appeal followed. ROA, p. 408.
-6- SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT
ISSUE 1 The trial court properly dismissed Appellant’s proceeding for injunctive relief as a baseless cause of action.
Valentina failed to perfect an appeal of the trial court order approving the
settlement agreement. Therefore, the issue is not properly before this court.
Moreover, Valentina’s action has no basis in law because her allegations for
injunctive relief, together with inferences reasonably drawn from them, do not
entitle her to the relief sought.
When Valentina entered into the settlement agreement, she understood and
agreed the property she and her daughter were residing in would be sold and she
would receive $100,000 from the sales proceeds. Valentina affirmatively settled
and released the claims she now brings as part of the settlement agreement. By
accepting consideration pursuant to the settlement agreement, Valentina ratified
the contract and is estopped from injunctive relief to prevent its enforcement.
Lily’s interests were properly represented by the court appointed attorney ad
litem and Valentina has no standing to bring the petition for injunctive relief.
-7- Valentina waived any homestead rights she may have had when she agreed
that Nader, Hanya and Lily were Adel’s sole heirs. Valentina failed to appeal the
final judgment declaring heirship in which the trial court found that Adel was not
married at the time of his death; therefore, this issue has not been preserved for
appeal.
-8- ARGUMENTS AND AUTHORITIES
ISSUE 1 The trial court properly dismissed Valentina’s proceeding as a baseless cause of action.
Standard of Review : De Novo Review
Whether a trial court properly dismissed a proceeding as a baseless cause of
action pursuant to TEX.R.CIV.P. 91a is reviewable de novo by the appellate court.
Wooley v. Schaffer, WL 3955111 (Tex.App. – Houston [14th Dist.] 2014).
A party may move to dismiss a cause of action on the grounds that it has no
basis in law or fact. TEX.R.CIV.P. 91a. Temporary Administrator’s motion to
dismiss was made pursuant to the rule, identified each cause of action and stated
the specific reasons Valentina’s cause of action had no basis in law. TEX.R.CIV.P.
91a.2. ROA, p. 398. A cause of action has no basis in law if the allegations, taken
as true, together with inferences reasonably drawn from them, do not entitle the
claimant to the relief sought. TEX.R.CIV.P. 91a.1.
Valentina Did Not Preserve Her Issues for Appeal
A judgment is final and appealable if it disposes of all parties and issues.
Litoff v. Jackson, 742 S.W.2d 788, 789 (Tex.App. – San Antonio 1987, no writ)
(citing North East Independent School District v. Aldridge, 400 S.W.2d 893, 895
-9- (Tex. 1966)). The trial court’s order approving the settlement agreement disposed
of all parties and issues with respect to Valentina’s common law marriage suit and
constitutes a final, appealable judgment. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 4; ROA, pp.
124-126; Litoff v. Jackson, 742 S.W.2d 788, 789 (Tex.App. – San Antonio 1987,
no writ).
The trial court’s order approving the settlement agreement was signed on
July 17, 2013. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 4; ROA, pp. 124-126. Valentina did not
file a notice of appeal of the trial court’s order. Therefore, she has not timely
perfected an appeal as to whether the settlement agreement is revocable and it is
not properly before this court. TEX.R.APP.P. 26.1.
If this court determines Valentina has preserved error for appeal, then the
trial court’s order should be affirmed because the lower court properly dismissed
Valentina’s injunction suit as having no basis in law.
Valentina’s Claims have No Basis in Law
Valentina’s petition for injunctive relief seeks to prevent the sale of the
property on three grounds:
1) The Settlement Agreement is Unenforceable. Valentina’s attorney gave her poor advice causing her to sign a grossly unfair settlement agreement. Valentina did not intend to waive her homestead rights when she signed the settlement agreement.
-10- 2) Valentina’s Homestead Rights. As the purported common law spouse of Adel, Valentina enjoys homestead protection afforded by the Texas Constitution; the trial court erred by failing to set aside the property as the homestead of Valentina and Lily.
3) Lily’s Homestead Rights. Lily’s attorney ad litem did not have authority to sign the settlement agreement requiring the sale of her homestead nor did Temporary Administrator have authority to sell it.
ROA, pp. 7-10.
A. The Settlement Agreement is Enforceable
The settlement agreement identified the property as “the property commonly
known as 12206 Cabo Blanco Court, Houston, Texas 77041.” Appellee’s
Appendix, Item 3; ROA, pp. 32, 33. Valentina voluntarily agreed that the property
would be sold and she would receive $100,000 from the sales proceeds.
Appellee’s Appendix, Item 3; ROA, pp. 32, 34. Valentina agreed that she and Lily
would reside in the property until its sale, cooperate to expedite the sale and
execute documents as necessary at closing. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 3; ROA, pp.
32, 35.
Valentina’s Representations and Warranties
The settlement agreement included the following representations and
warranties by Valentina. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 3; ROA, pp. 32, 36-37.
-11- The Settlement Agreement was Binding.
vi) the terms and provisions of this Agreement are valid, binding and enforceable as against himself or herself, any such Party’s successors and affiliates. Section 3.4 (vi); Section 3.5 (a).
Valentina was represented by Counsel.
vi) that he or she is adequately represented by competent counsel of his or her choosing in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and in any and all matters relating thereto, or has voluntarily waived such right to seek the advice of a legal advisor. Section 3.4(viii)
Donald Worley solely represented Valentina.
x) that Donald Worley, solely represents Valentina and does not and has never represented any other Party and has not provided any other Party legal advice or services or made any representations to any other Party. Section 3.4(x)
Cameron McCulloch, Jr. solely represented Lily.
xi) that Cameron McCulloch, Jr., solely represents Lily and does not and has never represented any other Party and has not provided any other Party legal advice or services or made any representations to any other Party. Section 3.4(xi)
Each Party Relied Upon His Own Judgment and Advice of Counsel.
xii) that in executing this Agreement, each Party has relied upon his or her own judgment and the advice of his or her own attorneys, and further, that he or she has not been induced to
-12- sign this Agreement by promises, agreements or representations not expressly stated herein, and he or she has freely and willingly executed this Agreement and expressly disclaims reliance upon any facts, promises, undertakings, or representations made by any other Party, or by such Party’s Affiliates . Section 3.4(xii)
Consent was not procured, obtained or induced by improper conduct, undue influence or duress.
xiii) that the consent of such Party to this Agreement was not procured, obtained or induced by improper conduct, undue influence or duress. Section 3.4(xiii)
Each Party made an Informed Consent.
xiv) that such Party has knowledge of all relevant and material information and facts and has been fully informed, including by advice of counsel, concerning the existence of potential Claims ... in order for him or her to make an informed and considered decision to enter into the Agreement, and/or specifically and after advice of counsel is waiving any right to obtain or demand same. Section 3.4(xiv)
No Party was in Disparate Bargaining Position.
xv) that he or she is not in a significantly disparate bargaining position with regard to any other Party. Section 3.4(xv)
Moreover, Valentina agreed it was a final agreement and waived claims of
fraudulent inducement. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 3; ROA, pp. 32, 38.
Section 3.5 (k) provides:
THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF -13- PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL OR WRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN OR AMONG ONE OR MORE OF THE PARTIES HERETO. EACH PARTY WAIVES ANY CLAIMS THAT HE OR SHE WAS FRAUDULENTLY INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
Valentina Released all Claims
Valentina released all claims she had to Adel’s estate, specifically including
the property. The settlement agreement provided:
f. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is intended to settle all Claims by Valentina to Adel’s Estate and/or against Nader and/or Hanya including to any assets of Adel’s Estate, the Cabo Blanco Property, any companies and/or assets of any of them. An heirship will be entered determining Hanya, Nader and Lily as Adel’s sole heirs.
Appellee’s Appendix, Item 3; ROA, pp. 32, 35 (emphasis added).
“Claims” is defined to include:
“... and any other ground, whether or not asserted, which any person, has, may have, or have had against the released and/or indemnified party, now existing or arising in the future, including the claims brought or which could have been brought by Valentina through the effective date of this Agreement relating to Nader, Hanya, the Lawsuit, Adel’s Estate, including any claims of common law marriage, save and except warranties and representations under this Agreement. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE DEFINITION OF “CLAIMS” IS AND SHALL BE AS BROAD AS THE LAW WILL ALLOW.”
Appellee’s Appendix, Item 3; ROA, pp. 32, 33. (emphasis added).
-14- Because Valentina waived any right or claim concerning the property and
agreed that Hanya, Nader and Lily were Adel’s sole heirs at law, the trial court
properly dismissed Valentina’s injunction suit as having no basis in law.
Settlement Agreement Required Sale of Homestead
The Settlement Agreement authorized and directed the sale of the property
in issue to fund a majority of the cash payment to Valentina. Appellee’s Appendix,
Item 3; ROA, pp. 32, 34-35. Valentina agreed to accept $145,000 in full and final
settlement of all claims which were or could have been brought relating to
Valentina’s common law marriage suit, Adel’s Estate, the residential real
property located at 12206 Cabo Blanco Lane, or Adel’s two adult children, Nader
and Hanya. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 3; ROA, pp. 32-35 (Emphasis added).
The Settlement Agreement provided that the property would be sold and
Valentina would receive a cash payment of $100,000 from the sales proceeds at
closing. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 3; ROA, pp. 32, 34-35.
Valentina Signed the Agreement
Valentina signed the agreement. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 3; ROA, pp. 32,
39. Valentina’s attorney signed the order approving the settlement agreement.
Appellee’s Appendix, Item 4; ROA, pp. 124, 126.
-15- Further, Valentina judicially admitted that, upon advice of counsel, she
signed the agreement by which her house would be sold:
“On May 28, 2013, Valentina was advised, by her attorney at the time, to sign a settlement agreement giving Cameron McCulloch, as Attorney ad litem for Lily, the ability to sell the house as 12206 Cabo Blanco Court.” ROA, pp. 7,8.
The presence or absence of signatures on a written contract is relevant to
determining whether the parties are bound by the contract. In re Bunzl USA, Inc.,
155 S.W.3d 202, 209 (Tex.App. – El Paso 2004, orig. proceeding). A party’s
signature on a contract is strong evidence that the party unconditionally assented
to its terms. Id.
Public Policy Protects Freedom to Contract
There is a strong public policy to preserve freedom of contract. Lawrence v.
CDB Servs., Inc., 44 S.W.3d 544, 553 (Tex. 2001). It is generally recognized that
parties dealing at arms length have a wide discretion as to the terms of the contract
into which they may wish to enter. Thomas v. Mandell & Wright, 433 S.W.2d
218, 228 (Tex.Civ.App. – Houston [1st Dist.] 1968), rev’d on other grounds, 441
S.W.2d 841 (Tex. 1969).
Parties are entitled to select the terms and provisions they want included in a
contract before signing it. ASI Tech., Inc. v. Johnson Equip. Co., 75 S.W.3d 545,
-16- 548 (Tex.App. – San Antonio 2002, pet. denied). “In short, parties strike the deal
they choose and, thus, voluntarily bind themselves in the manner they choose.” Id.
The general rule is that every person who has the capacity to enter into a
contract is held to know what words were used in the contract, to know their
meaning, and to understand their legal effect. Amouri v. Sw. Toyota, Inc., 20
S.W.3d 165, 169 n.2 (Tex.App. – Texarkana 2000, pet. denied). The consequence
of this rule is that a party to a contract may not successfully claim that he believed
the provisions of the contract were different from those plainly set out in the
agreement or that he did not understand the meaning of the language used. Brown
v. Aztec Rig Equip., Inc., 921 S.W.2d 835, 8436 (Tex.App. – Houston [14th Dist.]
1996, writ denied).
It is not for a reviewing court to determine why the parties contracted as
they did. Austin Bridge Company, et al. v. State of Texas, 427 S.W.2d 925
(Tex.App. – Austin 1968, writ ref’d n.r.e. ). Public policy “permits the utmost
freedom of contract between parties of full age and competent understanding and
requires that their contracts when freely and voluntarily entered into, shall be held
sacred and enforced by the courts ...” Crutchfield v. Associates Investment
Company, 376 S.W.2d 957, 959 (Tex.App. – Dallas 1964, writ ref’d.).
-17- No Allegation of Fraud, Collusion or Misrepresentation
Valentina’s pleading did not raise any allegation or evidence of fraud,
collusion or misrepresentation. ROA, pp. 7-10. Absent fraud, misrepresentation,
or deceit, a party is bound by the terms of the contact he signed, regardless of
whether he reads it or believed it had different terms. In re McKinney, 167 S.W.3d
833, 835 (Tex. 2005).
Valentina Accepted Consideration and Cannot Rescind the Contract
Texas law provides that the right to rescind a contract is waived by the
retention of consideration. Guerrero v. Hagco Building Systems, Inc., 733
S.W.2d 635, 638 (Tex.App. – San Antonio 1987, no writ) (citing American
Mannex Corp. v. Huffstutler, 328 F.2d 449, 455 (5th Cir. 1964)). A prerequisite to
cancellation of a settlement agreement is the return of consideration received.
Kennedy v. Texas Employers Ins. Ass’n, 121 S.W.2d 434 (Tex.Civ.App. – Dallas
1938, aff’d).
The Settlement Agreement provided that Nader would loan $45,000 to
Temporary Administrator to pay Valentina, from which she would use
approximately $20,000 to purchase a reliable car to transport Lily. Appellee’s
Appendix, Item 3; ROA, pp. 32, 34. On July 29, 2013, Temporary Administrator
-18- filed an application in the base proceeding for authority to borrow funds and
execute a promissory note to Nader. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 17; S.S.C.R., pp.
82-89. Valentina received notice of the oral hearing on the application to borrow
funds. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 18; S.S.C.R., pp. 90-91.
Valentina made no objection and the trial court granted Temporary
Administrator’s application. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 19; S.S.C.R., pp. 92-93.
Valentina accepted the $45,000 payment as partial consideration under the
settlement agreement, has not returned the payment, and has no right to rescind the
contract. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 20; S.S.C.R., pp. 94-97.
Valentina Waived Homestead Rights
Valentina waived and relinquished any right to assert homestead protection.
The settlement agreement she signed unequivocally mandated the sale of the property
where she and Lily resided and provided that Valentina would receive a portion of
those sales proceeds. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 3; ROA, pp. 32, 34-35.
A party to a contract may not successfully claim that he believed the provisions
of the contract were different from those plainly set out in the agreement or that he
did not understand the meaning of the language used. Brown v. Aztec Rig Equip.,
Inc., 921 S.W.2d 835, 8436 (Tex.App. – Houston [14th Dist.] 1996, writ denied).
-19- The homestead right may be waived. VERNON’S ANN. TEXAS CONST. ART. 16,
§52; TEXAS ESTATES CODE § 102.003 (formerly V.A.T.S. PROBATE CODE § 283);
Williams v. Williams, 569 S.W.2d 867, 870 (Tex. 1978); Hunter v. Clark, 687 S.W.2d
811, 815 (Tex.App. – San Antonio 1985, no writ). The right to a probate homestead
is a personal right which may be waived by agreement. Ferguson v. Ferguson, 111
S.W.3d 589, 598 (Tex.App. – Fort Worth, 2003, pet. denied).
Waiver is defined as an intentional relinquishment of a known right. United
States Fid. & Guar. Co. v. Bimco Iron & Metal Corp., 464 S.W.2d 353, 357 (Tex.
1971). The key element to waiver is intent. ASI Technologies, Inc. v. Johnson
Equip. Co., 75 S.W.3d 545, 548 (Tex.App. – San Antonio 2002, pet. denied) (quoting
Sedona Contracting, Inc. v. Ford, Powell & Carson, Inc., 995 S.W.2d 192, 195
(Tex.App. – San Antonio 1999, pet. denied)).
Valentina judicially admitted that she signed the settlement agreement upon
advice of counsel. ROA, pp. 7, 8. The agreement included her settlement and release
of all claims to the property. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 3; ROA, pp. 32, 33, 35. The
agreement required the property now in issue to be sold and provided Valentina
would receive funds from its sale. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 3; ROA, pp. 32, 34- 35.
Accordingly, there is no basis at law to support Valentina’s allegation that she did not
intend to waive her homestead rights and the trial court properly dismissed her suit.
-20- B. Valentina’s Purported Homestead Rights
The only legal basis for Valentina’s purported homestead rights in the property
stems from her purported common law marriage to Adel.
Hanya, Nader and Lily are Adel’s Sole Heirs
The parties agreed that an heirship would be entered determining Hanya, Nader
and Lily as Adel’s sole heirs, and that nothing therein would be deemed to dismiss
Lily’s claims to the assets of Adel’s Estate. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 3; ROA, pp.
32, 35. The trial court entered a final judgment declaring heirship finding by clear
and convincing evidence that Hanya, Nader and Lily were Adel’s sole heirs, and that
Adel was not married at the time of his death. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 5; S.S.C.R.,
pp. 7-10.
Valentina has no homestead rights in the property because no common law
marriage between Adel and Valentina existed at the time of his death. Appellee’s
Appendix, Item 5; S.S.C.R., pp. 7-10. The judgment declaring heirship was a final,
appealable order. TEX.EST.CODE § 202.202. De Ayla v. Mackie, 193 S.W.3d 575,
578 (Tex. 2006). Valentina failed to perfect an appeal of the judgment declaring
heirship. TEX.R.APP.P. 25.1. Further, Valentina waived and released any claim
arising from her common law marriage. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 3; ROA, pp. 32,
-21- 33, 35. Accordingly, Valentina’s petition for injunctive relief arising from her
purported homestead rights has no basis in law. TEX.R.CIV.P. 91a.1.
C. Lily’s Homestead Rights
By agreement of the parties, the trial court appointed Cameron McCulloch as
Lily’s attorney ad litem in Valentina’s common law marriage action due to a conflict
of interest between Valentina and Lily. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 8; S.S.C.R., pp.
35-36. The trial court also appointed Mr. McCulloch as Lily’s attorney ad litem in
the guardianship proceeding. Appellee’s Appendix, Item 9; S.S.C.R., pp. 37-38. Mr.
McCulloch was also appointed as guardian of Lily’s estate. Appellee’s Appendix,
Item 10; S.S.C.R., pp. 39-42.
Trial Court’s Authority to Appoint Lily’s Attorney ad Litem
An attorney ad litem is properly appointed by the judge of a probate court as
follows:
. . . In any probate proceeding, to represent the interests of : (1) a person who has a legal disability; (2) a nonresident; (3) an unborn or unascertained person; or (4) an unknown heir; (5) a missing heir; (6) an unknown or missing person for whom cash is deposited into the court’s registry under Section 363.011. TEX.PROBATE CODE § 34A.11
The term “probate proceeding” is defined as including:
11 Currently, TEXAS ESTATE CODE § 53.104(a). -22- (1) an heirship determination; (2) application, petition, motion or action regarding the probate of a will or an estate administration, including a claim for money owed by the decedent; (3) a claim arising from an estate administration and any action brought on the claim; and (4) the settling of a personal representative’s account of an estate and any other matter related to the settlement, partition, or distribution of an estate. TEX. PROBATE CODE § 3(bb).12
The Probate Code defines “matters related to probate proceeding” to include
an action against a personal representative arising out of the representative’s
performance of the duties of a personal representative. TEX. PROB. CODE § 4B.13
In accordance with these provisions, the trial court properly appointed Lily’s
attorney ad litem. Lily’s attorney ad litem approved the settlement agreement and
signed the order approving same. ROA, pp. 53, 55; Appellee’s Appendix, Item 4;
ROA, pp. 124-126. Accordingly, Valentina’s cause of action asserting the settlement
agreement was not binding on Lily because her attorney ad litem was not properly
appointed is without basis in law.
