Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

Are the co executors who are also the beneficiaries of their mother's will equally responsible for the expenses of probating her will? Or does it come out of her estate ? Can you take these costs off of your income tax?

Reasonable probate expenses can come from the estate assets, either as a reimbursement or direct pay, depending on how you and your lawyer want to work it out. The expenses of estate administration are typically not a taxable event for the executor's income tax.
