What is the probate process after a parent's death?

Answered by attorney Norman Harry Green (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Irsfeld, Irsfeld & Younger LLP
Hire a lawyer to file a petition for probate and assist with the estate administration. This should be in the state of his domicile (permanent residence). Additional probate administrations may be necessary in states where he owned real property. Did he leave a will? If so, it probably nominates an executor. If not, then his wife has priority to serve as administrator, but if she does not want to do so, or if she doesn't act within a month, then one of his children can file the petition.

If my father planned for separation, does this factor into her claim?

Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
No. Texas law does not recognize a separation. The spouse would be entitled to 50% of the community estate. There may be an issue as to what is considered community property, and what is separate property, however.

How long does a lawyer have to notify the heirs of a will details contained within the will?

Eric James Smith
Answered by attorney Eric James Smith (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Eric J. Smith
There is no requirement that a will be probated. A person named executor in a will must probate the will to act in that role, and then they must qualify to be executor. If you think there is a will and you think you should receive under it, contact an attorney. The probate process relies on interested parties to act.
