Disqualifying Or Removing An Independent Executor In Texas – Usually, when a person leaves a Will designating an Executor or Executrix, the Executor is a person that the decedent was close to or trusted. However, there are times when the trusted Executor or Executrix may fail to perform his or her duties, has a conflict of interest, has become incapacitated, or has committed gross misconduct involving the estate. When this occurs, the Executor or Executrix may need to be disqualified or removed.

Informal Family Settlements In Texas Probate – There are several alternatives to the traditional formal probate of a Will in Texas. When an estate is small and consists only of personal property, the family may consider an informal family settlement (or an affidavit of no probate). Also, an informal family settlement agreement is an option for settling a potential Will contest and to clear title to property.

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.

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.
