- Q. Is the executor of my father’s Will required to let me see it. His only heirs are myself and my sister.
- A: Yes, under Texas Law, the executor must show the beneficiaries must receive a notice after the probate hearing. That notice usually contains a copy of the Will. ALSO, once the will is filed for probate, it's actually public record.
- Q. If the deceased had $ in the bank at death and the executor went and withdrew it that day does he have to account for it
- A: If the executor was listed as "joint tenant with right of survivorship," then he/she may be able to legally withdraw those funds and not owe any accounting for the funds. If not, then the executor may have lacked legal authority to withdraw the funds. A good place to start is to find out if the account had a JTROS designation.
- Q. Does an executor in Texas have to file either an inventory of the estate or an in lieu of inventory with the court ?
- A: Yes, unless the will was probated as a "muniment of title".
