The Probate Auditors are tasked with the statutorily mandated review of Annual and Final Accounts in probate and guardianship matters in order to protect the assets of the estate or ward. These reviews include doing a comprehensive review of various financial statements and court orders to ensure executors/administrators and guardians are in compliance with court instructions and the Texas Estates Code. The Auditors review over 450 annual and final accounts each year. In addition, the Auditors’ other responsibilities include reviewing requests for reimbursements, additional compensation, reductions in bonds, and closing estates.
Auditor’s Review Process
The Auditors begin reviewing accountings and reimbursement requests once all of the necessary backup documents are received. Delays in submitting required backup documents or responding to the Court will delay request approvals and letter renewals.
Please refer to the following for procedures when any annual or final account is filed in Travis County:
- Administrative Orders Regarding the Filing of Annual and Final Accounts
- Annual and Final Account Submission Checklist
- Help Us Help You
- For best practices and procedures when emailing the Court and to expedite audits
