What is probate? Does my will avoid probate?
So probate is the legal process of carrying out the wishes and instructions in your will. So your will says what happens with your stuff when you pass away, it also says who you want to be in charge of that process. If there is anything to go through the probate process, then yes, typically the will will need to be probated and fortunately it taxes. It’s not a terribly complex, horrible situation in most cases. So, sometimes we do plan around probate when we get plan to avoid probate, but unlike a lot of other states where the probate process is much more complicated, Texas is a pretty friendly state probate of will.
