Required form of Claims
Claims submitted against a Harris County Probate Estate must be in proper form. If a creditor submits a claim against an estate that is not complete then the Executor or Administrator is required not to allow the claim, and even if they do, the Probate Court is also required to not approve the claim.
Claims for money against an estate must be supported by an affidavit that the claim is just and that all legal offsets, payments, and credits known to the affiant have been allowed. If the claim is not founded on a written instrument or account, the affidavit shall also state the facts upon which the claim is founded. A photostatic copy of any exhibit or voucher necessary to prove a claim may be offered with and attached to the claim in lieu of the original.
