Welcome Guest,

Your mother will have to probate the will and get the property transferred in her name. Then she can use a quitclaim deed and transfer the property to you and your sister.

Hi Guest,

I'm not sure about the probate expenses in Texas. In my opinion, it will be a better option to contact an attorney and take his suggestions in this regard. The attorney will be the best person to give you an idea about the probate expenses.

Thanks
