Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
Probate
My Father's entire estate is left in an 867 trust managed by a bank. Now that he recentlly passed away, is it necessary to probate his will after the proceeds from the trust are dispursed, even though there are no assets left to be distributed under the provisions of his will?
Thank you.

Re: Probate
If all assets were in the trust, and there's absolutely no property outside the trust, it's not necessary to probate the will.
