Texas Probate Passport

“Texas Probate Passport” has been prepared to inform the public regarding: (1) what happens legally to the property of a person when he or she dies with a will or without a will; and (2) how the probate process works. It also provides lists to assist in preparing a will, and in preparing for probate. The Texas Young Lawyers Association (TYLA) seeks to make Texas residents aware of how the law (the Texas Probate Code) affects them and their families.

This handbook is not a substitute for the advice of a lawyer, but instead is designed to assist Texans in learning about their legal rights.
