Completing the Probate Process in Texas

The probate process involves correctly identifying the will of a loved one and ensuring that it’s a valid legal document. Carrying this out often requires working with a knowledgeable Laredo probate lawyer.

There are typically four steps to the probate process:

• Notifying all heirs and identifying an executor of the will
• Giving notice to any creditors and inventorying property
• Paying estate and funeral expenses
• Dividing property according to the will

The process of identifying the executor of the will is something that the family can agree upon themselves or can be determined by the court. The responsibilities of a will’s executor include the following:

• Dispersing assets to those named in the will
• Keeping or selling property
• Paying bills and taxes
• Borrowing money
• Managing the estate
