Someone, usually your executor or a family member, files your will (if you had one). In Texas, they have four years from the date of death to file your will. The court validates your will. The court appoints a representative, or executor, to oversee your estate.
Original Wills All original wills must be filed with the Probate Clerk's Office within 3 days of e-filing the application to probate a will. Photocopies of a will can be used in some circumstances when the original will is missing and cannot be produced in Court.
State laws require filing all wills, but they do not require executors to petition for probate. The probate process may not always be necessary, even if a loved one has a will.
If the project is located in Collin county, then yes, you will want to record your lien with the Collin County, Texas Clerk's office.
