Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
forms for probate
1) could you please tell me what is the first step to having a will probated - i.e., are there any forms that must be submitted with the original will?
2) is a will valid if it is handwritten and not witnessed or notarized?
thank you

Re: forms for probate
1. The form is an application to admit a will to probate.
2. Yes, so long as it's entirely in the testator's handwriting, and you can locate two disinterested witnesses that can recognize and identify the handwriting.
