Texas probate law sets a strict statute of limitations of only four years for any heir or beneficiary to make a legal claim for inheritance. The four-year clock starts ticking as soon as the adoption is complete for adopted children. For other heirs or beneficiaries, it begins on the date of the parent's death.
Affidavit of Heirship: Filing this affidavit is a critical step. It's a sworn statement that outlines the deceased's heirs and their relation to the deceased, aiding in establishing a clear chain of title for the mineral rights.
Procedures: Please e-file all appropriate documents for your case with the Bexar County Probate Clerk's office, including Proposed Orders, Judgments, Affidavits of Heirship, and Proof of Death for review.
