For Dallas County executors

You've been named executor. Here's help with the house.

Being an executor in Texas comes with a court timeline, a 90-day inventory and a house that still needs looking after. We put together the guides families ask us for most, and they're free.

I'm Matt Templeton. My team and I help Dallas families with inherited houses, and most of the people we meet were never told what an executor actually does.

You don't have to figure the house out alone. Whether you keep it, rent it or sell it, we'll give you straight answers and real numbers, and we'll never pressure you.

Need a value for the inventory?

  • The court inventory needs the house's value on the date of death.
  • We'll prepare it for free from real nearby sales, written so your attorney can use it.
  • We'll include what the house is worth today, too. There's no obligation to list with us.

By submitting, you agree that Templeton Real Estate Group may call, text or email you about this estate and your property. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out at any time. We never sell your information.
