The Texas Probate Starter Kit

A practical checklist for families trying to settle an estate without making costly mistakes.

Why Download It?

Probate is not always one simple court filing.

In Texas, the right path depends on whether there is a will, whether real estate is involved, whether heirs agree, whether assets have beneficiaries, and whether someone needs legal authority to act.

This guide helps you understand the first steps, the documents that matter, and the probate options families often hear about only after they are already overwhelmed.

Before you move money, sell property, or distribute belongings

Make sure someone actually has authority. Many probate problems come from well-meaning family members moving too quickly.
