If you don’t have a specific provision in your will or trust that specifically gives your business to your beneficiary following your death, your executor, personal representative, or administrator may end up running your business. Texas Estates Code Section 351.201 et seq gives the probate court or a court sitting in matters probate authority to grant your executor power to run your business. In addition to the Texas Estates Code and the terms of your will or trust, you must also be aware of the provisions in your articles of incorporation, certificate of formation, operating agreement, and bylaws of your business. There are a lot of moving parts that you must consider.
