Texas Probate Selling or Leasing Property Contained Within An Estate
If you are reading this, one of following probably applies:
1. You are an individual who has accumulated personal and real property.
2. You are an Administrator or Executor of an Estate.
3. You are an heir/beneficiary in an estate probate proceeding.
4. You are just curious about the probating of a will in Texas.
Whatever your motivation is, the one thing I hope you will take away from this article is that probating an estate can be complex and the terminology confusing:
1. Steps to probating an estate in Texas with or without a will
2. Did the decedent die “intestate”
3. Differences between an Executor, Administrator, and Dependent Administrator
4. Muniment of Title
5. Definition of a Small Estate
6. Costs of Probate
7. Estate tax filing responsibilities
The value of legal assistance from a lawyer skilled in Texas Probate can not be overstated. The cost for preparing a will or guiding you through a probate proceeding is money well spent. This is an area that you do not want to cut corners
I am a real estate broker who has handled the leasing and sale of real estate in numerous estate probate proceedings.
My advice from related experience is that you should start with research to familiarize yourself with the steps and terminology in Texas Probate and contact an attorney to draw or probate a will. The following are information sources. They are not intended as a recommendation of any attorney or law firm.
