What is the next step?

What is the name of your state? TX

My father in law passed in Nov 2003 and he has a will. There would be 2 beneficiaries including my mother in law, my husband & his sister.

Please advise whether a probate is necessary since everyone would follow my father in law's will and no objection to that.

Also, what is the next step and how long will it take?

Thank you for your advice in advance.

Cheers,
Vi

Before the big guys get here to help you (including you Boxcar if you're still alive ) I'll ask for them.

How large is the estate?

Who is the Administrator?

Has anything been done to this point, including distribution of any assets?

Contact the county courthouse probate court to find out what the minimum amount of estate value must be before probate is required. Normal probate of simple estates can take anywhere from 3 months to 7 months depending on the complexity of the assets in the estate and how many other probate cases are being handled in the court.
