When someone dies in Texas, their property passes to the people named in the will or to their heirs if there is no will. The property remains subject to the person's debts.
In an independent administration, an executor or administrator can sell without first asking a judge after the court issues letters. The will or appointment order may give authority to sell. If neither does, the executor or administrator can record a sworn affidavit that the sale is necessary or advisable for a purpose allowed by law. Letters are the court's proof of appointment.
A dependent administration keeps the court in charge: the house cannot be sold without a court order, and the judge must approve the sale before the deed is signed. If a will exists and the only unpaid debts are a mortgage or other liens on real estate, the court may admit the will as a muniment of title. No executor is appointed, and the order lets the people named in the will deal with the property; this generally must be requested within four years of death.
If there is no will, the heirs can agree to have an independent administrator appointed with power to sell. If there is no probate, the heirs usually all sign the deed, and a title company may ask for proof of heirship, such as an affidavit of heirship. Any mortgage or other liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax on a sale conveying full ownership. The deed is signed in front of a notary and recorded with the county clerk. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.
