FAQ
Probate timelines can vary significantly. If the estate is small or simple, the probate court can often conclude the process within six months. However, there are many cases where probate can last for a year or longer. This is especially true where the original will is contested or is missing.
Can I file an Affidavit of Heirship with the Probate courts? No, these documents should be filed in the County Clerk Official Public Records Office located in room B20 at 100 W. Weatherford, Fort Worth, Texas.
Texas Probate Timeline If the estate is small or simple, the probate court can often conclude the process within six months. However, there are many cases where probate can last for a year or longer. This is especially true where the original will is contested or is missing.
However, executors are encouraged to act promptly, often aiming to complete the distribution within a year. Factors such as the complexity of the estate, the efficiency of the probate proceedings, and any disputes among heirs or creditors can significantly influence the timeline.
Once the Application has been filed, Texas Estates Code requires that you must wait approximately 2 weeks before you can have a hearing on the probate application. During the 2 week waiting period, the County Clerk posts a notice at the courthouse that an application has been filed for probate.
In Texas, an executor is given up to three years from their court appointment to distribute assets, excluding those allocated to creditors.
