  • Notifying Interested Parties: The probate proceedings must be notified to all interested parties, including beneficiaries and creditors.
  • Validating the Will: The court will determine the validity of the deceased’s will. The estate will be distributed according to Texas intestacy laws if there is no will.

  • Inventorying Assets: The executor or administrator must identify and inventory all estate assets.
  • Paying Debts and Taxes: The estate must settle outstanding debts and taxes before distributing the remaining assets to beneficiaries.
