If there are any debts associated with the deceased, or they own any real property, it is to the benefit of the family to go through probate. This will insure that accounts are settled and shouldend any attempts by creditors to collect if there are no monies. It also insures that there is clear title to any vehicles and property.

How many counties have established probate courts in Texas?

Ten counties in Texas have established Statutory Probate Courts - Bexar, Collin, Dallas, Denton, El Paso, Galveston, Harris, Hidalgo, Tarrant, and Travis. Some of these counties have more than one Probate Court; there are 18 Statutory Probate Courts total in Texas. That does not mean that only 18 courts in the state hear probate cases! In counties without Probate Courts, probate matters (such as wills, estates, and guardianships) may be heard in District Courts, County Constitutional Courts and/or County Courts at Law. In some counties, a County Court at Law may be referred to as a "County and Probate Court," but unless it is in one of the counties listed above, it is not officially a Probate Court.

How can a beneficiary monitor the actions of the trustee in California when the deceased person's estate is in Texas and what can be done if the trustee refuses to disclose or account for anything?

Generally speaking, most states require that, in the event a decedent designates a non-resident executor or trustee of a residual trust (i.e., a executor or trustee who resides out of the decedent's home state), the non-resident executor or trustee designate and identify to the Texas probate court an in-state contact person. In the event a beneficiary or heir of the decedent's estate believes that a distribution of estate assets has not been made, made improperly, made contrary to express provisions of the descent's will or trust agreement, or that the executor or trustee is wasting the assets of the estate or trust, then the beneficiary or heir may petition the Texas probate court for and accounting. Talk with the Clerk of the Probate Court where the will is probated. Be aware teat the Clerk cannot give legal advice, but can advise you on procedures and forms required by that court for filing a request for an accounting. You should consult a Texas probate attorney for the remedies specific to Texas probate law.
