Do I need to be executor or do I qualify to be that since it’s all being left to me?

Because your uncle has a daughter, she is legally entitled to take his property when he passes away under Texas law (assuming he is unmarried with no other children). Your uncle will need to execute a simple will that states you are to inherit from him rather than his daughter. This can be done for a small fee with a reputable estate planning attorney.

It means two things.  First, you agree that you do not need to know the date of the hearing and be present.  Second, it means that you agree that your stepmother should be able to administer your father's estate free of court supervision.  This means that she does need to submit an inventory but does not need the court's permission to sell, for example, your father's car and does not need to provide an accounting to the court.  A beneficiary may nonetheless request an accountign 15 months after the executor is appointed. Are you sure that a Will is being probated?  Ordinarily, beneficiaries are notified after, not before, a Will is admitted to probate.  In an intestacy, heirs are asked to sign a distributee's waiver of notice and consent to application for independent administration before the hearing.

You and your sibling(s) can sign a DMV form transferring title to the heirs.  You can then sign another form transferring your interest to your brother.  These are available online.
