• In Texas, with a muniment of title, you can avoid the probate process entirely. A muniment of title, usually a last will and testament, can be used as proof of title for the estate. Certain criteria must be met to qualify for a muniment of title: A Will, no debts attached to the estate, no claims from Medicaid, and the Will must be filed in Texas Probate Court within 4 years of the decedent’s death.
