In Texas, when a person dies and leaves a will, that will must be submitted to the court. However, all wills do not have to be probated. For a will to be admitted to probate, the court must determine a necessity for administration.
There is a 4-year period to file a will for probate. After that, the will may be considered invalid, and property will be distributed as if there was no will. The court can sometimes accept a will after 4 years if the applicant can show an acceptable reason for delay.
When a person passes away in Texas, their will must be submitted to the proper probate court. You may be wondering: Who is going to get a copy of your will? The short answer is that your will goes to the probate court, your executor, and beneficiaries, and anyone else to whom you choose to provide a copy.
To be valid in Texas, a will must be in writing, signed by the person making the will, and the person making the will must be eighteen or older, of sound mind, and have testamentary intent.
