Common Questions
Texas Probate FAQ
Answers to the questions heirs and executors ask most.
Do I need a real estate agent to sell a probate property in Texas?
While not legally required, it's strongly advisable. Probate sales require coordination with a probate attorney, specific deed types, and awareness of court timing constraints. An agent experienced in probate real estate helps you avoid costly mistakes and delays.
How long before I can sell a Texas probate property?
The typical Texas probate timeline is 4–6 months to obtain Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration. You can list the property sooner, but you cannot close the transaction until the court appoints an executor or administrator with authority to sign.
Can I sell a house that is in probate in Texas?
Yes. You can list a Texas property for sale while probate is pending. The sale must be authorized by the appointed executor or administrator. Once Letters Testamentary are issued, the closing proceeds like a standard transaction.
What happens if there is no will on a Texas property?
When someone dies without a will in Texas, intestate succession laws determine who inherits. Heirs typically need either an Affidavit of Heirship (for simpler estates) or a full court administration. Texas community property laws also affect how ownership is divided among a surviving spouse and children.
How much does it cost to sell probate real estate in Texas?
Costs mirror a standard sale: real estate commissions (typically 5–6%), closing costs (2–3%), and any outstanding taxes or liens. There are no extra fees simply because a property is in probate. Our initial consultation is always free.
