Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

Re: deed or title

Your lawyer is correct.

But the mortgage company actually wants something filed of record in the real property records; either the order admitting the will as muniment of title, with the will attached, or a special warranty deed with you as executor transferring the property to you as the devisee in the will.

Re: deed or title

If you are the executor of the will and you have been issued letters you can execute, in your capacity as executor, a deed to yourself in your individual capacity. If you did a muniment of title, then you don't need an additional document, just a copy of the will and the order admitting it to probate. You should have your attorney communicate with the title company to set things straight.
