FAQ

A Will, by itself, is not effective to convey title, possession, or interest in property. A Will must first be admitted to probate. Generally, under Texas law, a Will must be admitted to probate within 4 years of a person's death.

The beneficiary generally does not need to hire a lawyer or file anything in court to access the funds. They should be able to simply present the bank with proof of the death (e.g. a death certificate) as well as proof of their own identity, and the bank should release the funds directly to them.

The answer may surprise you: in Texas, bank accounts do not go through probate.

If the deceased person's bank account was solely in their name and there was no beneficiary designated (such as a POD), the funds will typically go through the probate process.

Certain accounts can have named beneficiaries and, when the account holder dies, the assets in that account go to the named beneficiary. If the deceased person was the sole owner of the bank account and named a beneficiary, then the bank can release the funds to the beneficiary without probate. Refer to Their Will.
