How to Sell Inherited Property
in Texas
Texas-specific probate rules, required forms, and the tools you need to get the property sold.
Texas Probate at a Glance
Texas offers two simplified procedures: Small Estate Affidavit for estates under $75,000 with no real property (Texas Est. Code § 205.001), and Muniment of Title for estates with only real property and no debts.
Texas does not require an attorney, but Muniment of Title and Independent Administration require court filings. An attorney is strongly recommended.
Timelines vary by estate complexity, court backlog, and whether disputes arise.
