Estate Dispute Resolution Options

Summary

As an independent executor in Texas, if a beneficiary refuses to sign necessary documents, you can petition the probate court to resolve the dispute and seek approval for distribution. Mediation is another option to reach an agreement. Consult with your attorney for specific guidance. In Texas, recording a phone conversation is legal if one party consents, meaning you can record if you are part of the conversation without the other persons permission.
