In Texas, probate is required for assets owned by the deceased. This can include real estate, vehicles, financial accounts, and personal belongings. Assets with designated beneficiaries like life insurance or retirement accounts bypass probate.
To begin the inheritance distribution process, you must submit the will through probate. After the probate court reviews the will, its authorized to an executor, and the executor then legally transfers all assetsagain, after settling taxes and debts. A will is distributed through the probate process.
The purpose of the deceased estate 3-year rule is to provide the estate executor or beneficiary sufficient time to manage and distribute the estates assets. It is important to note that this rule is conditional; for example, the property cannot be used to generate rental income during this three-year period.
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 parents death.
An estate claim is filed by the executor or administrator of the deceased persons estate. It seeks compensation for any expenses related to the death, like funeral and medical costs. Unlike wrongful death claims, estate claims do not have any restrictions on who can file or time limits for filing.

In Texas, claimants or creditors generally have four months after receiving proper notice of the probate administration to make claims on a probate estate.
The creditor first files a Statement of Claim in the probate matter for the decedent, or the person who died. If a claim is filed and it is timely, the court will not close the matter until the claim has been satisfied or the personal representative shows that funds are not sufficient to cover it.
