Texas pre-probate question?
Hey guys. I have stumbled upon a pre probate property. The father died (mother already passed) and there are two sons that will inherit the property. No will. They want to sell me the property asap due to the fathers medical bills that are unpaid. Can they sell it to me before probate? They are meeting with a probate attorney next week.
Can a title company prepare a affidavit of heir-ship? Or do I need my RE attorney? Or a probate attorney to write it up?
Thanks!

Yes you can. It's during the administration process that you can make your offer "Subject To'.
(Mike Landry makes this offer Subject To Mark Pedroza being confirmed by the court as PR to the Jane/John Doe estate)
As long as the PR has Full Authority, they can sell the property during the administration process of probate. At least this is what can happen in CA per the link below. (You'll probably have to copy and paste to read)
