How to obtain a copy of a will in Texas?

Texas Probate Law: Beneficiaries are Entitled to Receive a Copy of the Will. In Texas, beneficiaries are entitled to receive a copy of the will as part of the probate process. This means anyone who is named in the will as an heir has a right to receive a copy of the will.

Are beneficiaries entitled to a copy of the will before death?

Beyond those that you decide to provide a copy to, no one is entitled to a copy or the original will prior to your death. After death, only certain individuals have the legal right to obtain a copy of the will. If you name someone as a beneficiary in the will, they have the right to obtain a copy.

Are heirs entitled to a copy of the will?

Heirs at law are entitled to a copy of a deceased persons will; however, distant heirs are not. To put it another way, if you are an heir with priority intestacy rights, you would have the right to request a copy of the will from the personal representative.
