Executors always ask:
“Can we sell now, or do we have to wait until probate finishes?”
Texas rules allow certain preparatory steps before full authority is granted:
Before Letters Testamentary:
- valuation
- clean-out planning
- contractor assessments
- family inventory
- property security
- strategy development
After receiving authority:
- final decision on sale
- selecting a licensed Texas agent
- reviewing offers
- preparing closing documentation
