A will is an important part of an estate plan, but it does not always mean assets transfer immediately after a loved one passes away.
In many cases, probate administration is still needed to validate the will, identify heirs and beneficiaries, inventory estate assets, address creditor claims, and distribute property according to the will or Texas law.
While probate can feel overwhelming, it is a process designed to help ensure an estate is handled properly and obligations are addressed before assets are distributed.
