We previously reviewed the information that you must provide to the Harris County Probate Court to apply for Probate of Will as Muniment of Title. Upon receipt of the required information, you must prove to the satisfaction of the Harris County Probate Court that the following facts exist:

  1. That the person is dead, and that less than four years have elapsed since the person’s death and prior to the application for Muniment of Title; and
  2. That the Harris County Probate Court has jurisdiction and venue over the estate; and
  3. That citation has been served and returned in the manner and for the length of time required by law; and
  4. That there are no unpaid debts owing by the estate of the testator, excluding debts secured by liens on real estate.

In addition, you must prove that the Will is valid and that it was not revoked by the deceased.

If you fail to prove these requirements, the Harris County Probate Court will likely deny your application for Muniment of Title.
