What happens to a house during probate in Texas?
 
When a homeowner passes away, their property goes through probate, a legal process that determines how assets are handled and distributed in Texas.
 
The process may include:
  • validating the will
  • appointing executor
  • identifying heirs
  • settling debts
before the property can be sold.

Can you sell a house during probate?
 
Yes in many cases a home can be sold during probate. The process depends on the authority granted to the executor and whether court approval is required.

Typically probate steps in Texas:
  • filing the will with probate court
  • appointing an executor or administrator
  • identifying heirs and beneficiaries
  • gaining legal authority to sell the home
Every situation is different and timelines can vary.
