After the death of a loved one emotions are running
extremely high. One of the practical
decisions that must be made in the face of this grief and confusion is the
proper distribution of your late loved one’s estate. Unfortunately, this happens all too often and
prohibits clear thinking individuals from making unemotional financial decisions.
A dispassionate third party is necessary to sort out the
details as to whether or not a probate is necessary. As you go through the probate process in
Texas, there may be legal terms that are unfamiliar to you. Among them may be…
1. Decedent - the
person who has died and whose will is being probated
2. Will - the legal
document of the decedent
3. Estate - this is
all of the decedent’s assets
4. Beneficiaries -
any and all loved ones named in the will
5. Executor or
Executrix - the person who inventories and catalogues the decedent’s assets and
sees that the estate is administered according to law relaying on the advice of
an attorney
6. Executor – refers
to a male executor
7. Executrix – refers
to a female executor
