Executor’s deed texas
An Executor’s Deed in Texas is used to transfer real property from the estate of a deceased property owner to the heir or heirs designated in their Will. It is signed by a court appointed Executor, who is the person named in a will to execute the terms of a Will.
Good to know: An Executor is a person specified in a Will who is given the legal authority to carry out the remaining financial obligations of a deceased person. This often includes the distribution of assets including real estate. The Executor may transfer or convey real property owned by the deceased property owner.
When the Will is filed for probate, the person named as the Executor will need to sign the Executor’s Deed to transfer the property from the deceased owners to the heirs named in the Will.
If there is no Will, a probate judge may appoint an Administrator for the estate.
Note: To be in effect, a Will must be authenticated by a probate court. Texas law requires a Will to be filed for probate within 4 years of the date of death.
What is an Executor’s Deed
An Executor’s Deed is the deed used to transfer or convey real estate of a deceased property owner who died with a Will. It is the legal document used by the Executor to complete the transfer of real property owned by the deceased according to the terms of the Will.
Good to know: Even though a Will names an Executor, the Executor must file the Will in a probate court, prove it is a valid Will and be appointed as Executor before he or she can transfer the property.
If there is not a Will or if it is too late to probate a Will, the probate court may appoint an Administrator of the estate.
