CAN I DO THAT BY OPENING HIS ESTATE, WITH NO ADMINISTRATION ???
In Texas, you can request a family allowance without full administration by filing a "Muniment of Title" or a "Small Estate Affidavit" if the estate qualifies. However, these methods have specific requirements. Would you like guidance on these options?
SURE
Great! Here's a brief overview of the two options:
- Muniment of Title: This is used when the estate has no debts (except secured ones) and there's a valid will. It allows you to transfer assets without full administration.
- Small Estate Affidavit: This is available if the estate's total value is $*,* or less (excluding the homestead).
If you need detailed guidance on either option, just let me know!
