Ancillary Administration In Texas - If a decedent lived in a state other than Texas but also owned real estate in Texas, the family may use an ancillary Texas probate administration to pass title to the Texas real property. If the non-resident decedent left a Will, this is known as a foreign Will. If the foreign Will was probated in another state or country, the ancillary administration of that foreign Will is usually simpler than an original probate in Texas.

Temporary Administration In Texas - Sometimes immediate action is necessary to protect a decedent’s property before formal probate proceedings can be handled. For example, when a Will is contested or the beneficiaries or family members of a decedent cannot agree on who should be appointed as an executor or administrator, it may be necessary to ask a court to appoint a temporary administrator to handle the estate.

Muniment Of Title Probate In Texas - There are times when an estate is relatively simple and the more traditional formal method of probate to administer an estate is not necessary. For example, if the only reason for probating a Will is to clear title to property, then a Will can be admitted to probate as a muniment of title. Under this type of probate an executor or executrix is not appointed.

In this article, we will discuss muniment of title probate in Texas. Austin probate lawyer Farren Sheehan can help answer questions and assist families with muniment of title probate as well as traditional probate proceedings in the Austin area.

Small Estates Affidavits in Texas – When a person dies intestate (without leaving a Will), it is not always necessary to go through a full probate process in court to distribute the decedent’s property to rightful heirs. There are less expensive alternatives that family members may use, depending on the size of the estate and the type of property that was left. A Small Estate Affidavit is generally used when someone dies without a Will and the total value of the estate, not including the value of a homestead or exempt property, is less than $50,000.

What Is An Estate Inventory And Why Is It Required In Texas Probate?

An inventory is a listing prepared for the beneficiaries and creditors of what’s in the estate. It’s one of the required steps in probate. Probate is when you gather the estate’s assets, pay any final bills, and distribute everything.

In Texas, you’re no longer required to file the inventory with the court. You can instead file what’s called an Affidavit in Lieu of Inventory, which keeps the inventory private. However, you’re still required to give a copy of that inventory to all beneficiaries, and you must sign an oath that you’ve done that if you choose the Affidavit in Lieu of Inventory.

What Is A Texas Partition Action In Probate Law, And When Is It Required?

Partition actually exists in real estate law. It is a right for co-tenants who own property together. Each has an undivided percentage of that property and, at the same time, they all own it together. That means if you and someone else both own five acres together, you don’t each own two and a half acres. Each of you has an undivided interest in the entire five acres.

Top Six Estate Planning Tips For Unmarried Couples – Marriage makes life easier in many ways. If one partner in a marriage becomes incapacitated, then the other spouse can make important healthcare and financial decisions for that person. If one spouse passes away, then any community property passes to the remaining spouse. Unmarried couples often do not have many of these rights. As a result, estate planning for unmarried couples is much different from estate planning for married partners.
