Re: heirship or probate
About $2,000.00. They do very different things, and are used to satisfy different requirements. Sometimes all that's required is an Heirship Affidavit. Sometimes you need to probate the estate.
Take a look at the Texas Probate Code, and you can see where and when one would be used.
