What Is Probate?
“Probate” proceedings normally begin before an inherited house is sold. Below are 5 simple steps that outline the process:
- Filing the petition. Probate litigation is instituted by a personal representative named in the will or a person petitions the court to be executor.
- Notice to creditors and beneficiaries. The representative must notice anyone with an interest in the estate.
- Payment of the Estate’s debts, taxes, and expenses. Debts do not disappear – they must be paid before you inherit. Probate property is commonly used to satisfy amounts owed.
- Legal title of property transferred in accordance with the will or local inheritance laws. Once creditor claims are satisfied, the personal representative petitions the court to transfer the remaining assets to beneficiaries.
- Closing the probate estate. The estate is formally closed with a final account, petition for distribution, a final hearing with notice to all parties.

The Probate Process in Texas
The first compounding factor is whether or not the decedent – the person who has died – left a will. When a person dies intestate in Texas (without a will) the probate will be overseen by the courts. The court will be the one to decide who the decedent’s heirs are and their share of the estate. In this case, it would be difficult to sell your Texas house in probate.
If there is a will, things can go a bit more smoothly and quickly. The will should name an executor and essentially this is the person who will be responsible for moving the probate process along, filing the probate, notifying beneficiaries and creditors, taking inventory, appraising the estate, and overseeing the distribution of assets.
In case of a will, the process will go as follows:
- The executor will oversee filing the application for probate.
- A judge will recognize the decedent’s death, confirm the executor is fit to serve, and verify whether there’s a valid will.
- The executor will take inventory, appraise the estate, notify the beneficiaries of the will, post a notice to creditors, discharge debts, and file the decedent’s final federal tax return.
- Disputes are resolved.
- The estate is distributed among the beneficiaries.
In addition to the general probate process, there are two types of probate in Texas. The first is Independent Administration, which is usually less expensive and easier. Court supervision isn’t necessary for this kind of probate so the executor may settle the estate without much interference from the court. Additionally, you won’t need to post a bond or get an insurance policy that protects against executor mismanagement.
The second kind is Dependent Administration. In this kind of probate, all steps that the executor takes must be approved by the court and there’s a forum to resolve contested estates and disputes between beneficiaries.

What to do with your Probate Property in Texas
If there’s a house or property included in the will, the three main options are either to keep it, fix it up, rent it or sell the inherited house. Which option you choose will depend on the specifics of the will and any contests or objections by other beneficiaries. Either way, Ohana Legacy Properties can help you.

We can help you deal with inherited property and how to approach a probate sale in Texas.
