Heir Rights In Probate

Summary

In Texas, heirs cannot directly access a deceased persons bank accounts; only executors have that authority. Executors must act in the estates best interest. If an executor is suspected of misconduct, such as omitting assets or mismanaging funds, heirs can file a petition to remove them. Collecting evidence, such as witness statements and documenting communications, is crucial for supporting the petition.
