Probating Wills in Texas

Three things every Texas will should have.

1. A provision for an Independent Executor;



2. A provision to eliminate the need for bond;



3. A self-proving Affidavit.

Generally speaking, if more than real estate is owned in the estate, the will would be probated and an executor would be appointed. There are two types of executors in Texas. There are "independent" and "dependent" executors. The only way to get an independent executor is if the will provides for it or if the court allows it in its own discretion. It is a good idea, therefore, to always provide for an independent executor in the will when it is appropriate.
