What happens if someone dies without a will in Texas?
When someone dies without a will in Texas, intestacy law determines who inherits probate property. The answer can depend on marriage, children, separate property, community property, and other family facts. A court process may still be needed to identify heirs and authorize someone to handle estate business.
This is general information for Texas readers, not legal advice for a specific matter. The right answer can change when documents, deadlines, family conflict, taxes, business interests, fiduciary duties, or court requirements are involved.
