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.
The Auditors begin reviewing Accountings and reimbursement requests once all of the necessary backup documents are received. Delays in the delivery of those backup documents can slow down the turnaround time in approving those requests, which can lead to additional delays in getting letters of guardianship renewed.
