It is necessary to probate a Will in Texas when the estate includes assets titled in the decedents name. A person who dies typically has two classes of assets: probate assets and non-probate assets. Probate assets are property titled in the deceased persons name.
Texas law provides that, when this happens, the Will is treated as if it did not exist, and the estate passes by intestate (without a Will) succession. This means that children by a prior marriage take the deceased spouses one-half of any community property.
What is Probate? Probate is the formal legal process that gives recognition to a will and appoints the executor or personal representative who will administer the estate and distribute assets to the intended beneficiaries.
You can easily avoid probate in Texas by setting up a revocable living trust. With a revocable living trust, you have full control over your assets during your lifetime, and they are smoothly transferred to your beneficiaries upon your passing.
A Massachusetts small estate affidavit is a legal document used to present a claim on the estate or part of the estate of a deceased loved one. This process can be used to avoid probate court in Massachusetts when the estates value is no greater than $25,000.
