It can be overwhelming when a loved one passes away. Then, throw in a probate and it can feel worse but it doesn’t have to be.
Here is the simplified overview of what to expect from a probate:
- File the Will and an Application for Probate.
- Appoint an Executor.
- Notify creditors and beneficiaries.
- Inventorying and appraising the estate’s assets.
- Paying debts.
- Distributing assets to the beneficiaries.
While Texas has simplified probate procedures for some estates, the process can still be more than a person wants to worry about.
