Small Estate Affidavit
Did your loved one pass away without a Will, and you need to access their bank accounts or transfer their property?
Are you looking for a faster, more affordable alternative to formal probate?
Determining the most efficient way to transfer property after a loved one’s passing often begins with evaluating whether a Small Estate Affidavit is appropriate. In Texas, this simplified process allows heirs to transfer property and assets without going through full probate, provided that the estate meets specific requirements — including a total value under $75,000 (excluding homestead and exempt property) and no outstanding debts other than those secured by real estate.
