Probate & Estate Administration in Texas
When a loved one passes away, their estate must often go through a legal process called probate — the court-supervised transfer of assets to heirs and beneficiaries. In Texas, probate can be straightforward with the right guidance, but deadlines are strict and mistakes can be costly.
Whether you have been named as an executor, administrator, or trustee, RMA Law Group provides step-by-step legal support through every stage of the Texas probate process — so you can focus on your family.

How Texas Probate Works
Texas has one of the more efficient probate systems in the country, but there are still important steps that must be followed correctly. Here's what to expect:
- File the will with the probate court within 4 years of the date of death
- Appointment of executor or administrator by the court
- Inventory and appraisal of all estate assets
- Notification of creditors and settlement of valid debts
- Filing of required court documents and accountings
- Final distribution of assets to heirs and beneficiaries
Don't Wait — Texas Has Strict Deadlines
In Texas, a will must generally be filed with the probate court within 4 years of the date of death. Missing this deadline can result in the estate being treated as if there were no will at all.
