No. Nothing to cancel, no memberships, no recurring fees.

The Texas Statutes cover the rules for selling a decedent's property from a probate estate in Chapter 356 of the Estates Code.

When a will is admitted to probate, the court officer authorizes an executor to manage, and eventually close, the estate. Among other duties, this involves identifying the assets and liabilities, paying the bills, and distributing property according to the terms specified in the will.

Many estates contain real property. Depending on the circumstances, the executor might transfer the title to heirs as directed in the decedent's will or sell the property outright. In any case, the executor must issue a deed for the transfer. Note that executor's deeds do NOT typically include a general warranty on the title. The executor may offer a special warranty, meaning that he has the right to sell the property, and will only defend the title against claims on his actions.

An executor's deed is used by executors who are authorized by the Probate Court to transfer real property out of an estate. These instruments must meet the same requirements as a warranty deed or quitclaim deed, plus include additional information about the probate case. Sometimes, the executor must also include supporting documentation such as copies of the letters testamentary, the will, signatures from heirs or beneficiaries, etc.

Settling probate estates can be complicated, so take the time to understand the issues. Before buying or selling real property from an estate, review all the risks and benefits, and contact an attorney with questions.

Forms easy to download but experienced problems trying to type in my information into the forms. Then when I went to print a form, Adobe wanted to charge me for printing. I ended up printing the blank forms and then filling them out manually.

The pdf form is good; however, the input boxes merge into the line above so the text is hard to read when complete. I added a return before entering my data and this solved the problem.

Thank you for your feedback Cathleen. We will have staff take a look at the document for issues with the text fields. Have a great day!

I have used these forms now at least 3 times in order to sell the same parcel of land. The forms are great and I'm happy that I could use them more than once. To no fault of Deeds.com I used them many times to sell the same land. First the man died that was buying, before it got recorded. Then his wife was going to finish it, but then decided it should be sold to another party who was a friend of hers.
