Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
My son, aged 61, died Aug 25 this year. I found what he declared to be his "last will and testament".
It is a single sheet of paper with his signature dated Oct 14, 2002. He did not name me or any other
person as executor or administrator. I went to the Tarrant County Probate Court clerk's office and
from the little information I was able to get from them (really not much) I have surmised that my first step is to fill out and submit
a form called "Application for probate of will and issuance of letters testamentary". Later info leads
me to believe that's the wrong form. Is there a different form I should use to apply for probate?

Be sure and check with Tarrant County that they will allow you to handle the probate. They may require that you hire a lawyer to represent you. Because there is no executor named, the applicant (you) would ask the court to appoint you executor.
