Meet the Legal Requirements for Will Creation in Texas. The underlying lost will must itself be valid under Texas law. Show Why Original Will Can't Be Produced. Explain to the probate court why you can't bring the original Will to court. Establish the Contents of the Will.
At death, the deceased had a last Will that was validly executed outside California, be it in another state or nation. This type of Will is generally referred to as a foreign will.
Foreign wills are generally admissible in U.S. jurisdictions, even if they don't cross all the T's and dot all the I's. If a client has a will that was drawn up and executed in another country, unless there is something truly unorthodox about it, it probably does not need to be re-created according to American norms.
The court appoints the executor who was named in the will to manage the estate. This involves not only protecting and distributing the decedent's assets, but also taking care of his or her debts and liabilities. Any estate worth less than $75,000 is not required to go through the court.
1) Petition the court to be the estate representative. 2) Notify heirs and creditors. 3) Change legal ownership of assets. 4) Pay Funeral Expenses, Taxes, Debts and Transfer assets to heirs.
Without a probate attorney to guide you, the Texas probate process can be a daunting experience. To begin with, certain Courts will not allow non-lawyers to file applications to probate a will or an estate nor will they allow non-lawyers to represent an estate in Court.
To get the process started, someone files the will, and a request to probate the will as a muniment of title, with the probate court. If the court decides there's no need for probate administration, it admits the will into probate as a muniment, or evidence, of title to the estate assets.
For example, the court costs for filing certain applications, such as an Application for Probate of Will and for Issuance of Letters Testamentary or an Application for Appointment of Independent/Dependent Administrator and Determination of Heirship can range from approximately $300.00 to $800.00.
For an estate to be administered in accordance with the terms of the final Will of the deceased, the original Will is sent to the Probate Registry who will then issue a Grant of Probate to the executors.In all these cases you can apply to Probate to prove a Copy Will.
