This handbook is not a substitute for the advice of a lawyer, but instead is designed to assist Texans in learning about their legal rights.

Some are simply called the Probate Court. In New Yorkthey are called the Surrogates Court and in California they are called the Superior Court, Probate Division. The probate court will normally handle all the personal property the deceased owned, plus all the real estate the deceased owned located in that same state.
