? What Happens When Someone Passes Without a Spouse? In Texas, without a surviving spouse, assets go to children. If no children exist, parents inherit everything. For minors or incapacitated adults, exempt property (except the homestead) goes to the children or their guardians. The family home is protected and given to the guardian of minor children. While Texas law keeps assets within the family, estate planning ensures your wishes are honored. Need help?

Gather and protect assets ?? Pay debts and taxes ?? Distribute assets to heirs ?? Keep the court updated If no executor is named, the family can choose an administrator. This role requires organization, honesty, and sometimes a court-ordered bond. Need probate guidance in Texas? We’re here to help. ?? ??214-843-1751 #TexasProbate #ExecutorDuties #EstatePlanning
