Court Policy Regarding "Pro Sen Applicants (Applicants without an Attorney) People who represent themselves in court are called "pro se" or "self-represented" litigants. You are not required to have a lawyer to file papers or to participate in a case in court. You have a right to represent yourself. However, a pro se may not represent others. Under Texas law, only a licensed attorney may represent the interests of third-party individuals or entities, including guardianship wards and probate estates. See Steele v. McDonald, 202 S. W. 3d 926 (Tex. App. Waco, 2006), and the authorities cited in that opinion. Therefore, individuals applying for letters testamentary, letters of administration, determinations of heirship, and guardianships of the person or estate must be represented by a licensed attorney. The only time a pro se applicant may proceed in court is when truly representing only himself or herself. Frequently Asked Questions Q: What is a pro se? A: A pro se is an individual who has not hired a lawyer and appears in court to represent himself and no other person or entity. Q: Can I still serve as an executor, administrator, or guardian even though I'm not a lawyer? A: Yes. One need not be a lawyer to serve as an executor, administrator, or guardian. However, the executor, administrator, o.r guardian must be represented by counsel.

Q: But I'm the only one that needs letters testamentary. As executor, how would I be representing the interests of

• thers?

A: As executor of a decedent's estate, you don't represent only yourself. An executor represents the interests of beneficiaries and creditors. This responsibility to act for the benefit of another is known as a fiduciary relationship. It gives rise to certain legal obligations and responsibilities that require legal expertise. The attorney you hire represents you in your capacity as executor and assists you in representing those for whom you are responsible. Q:.

IfIget the paperwork from a law library or the internet, can I fill it out and file it? Isn't that what lawyers do?

A: Lawyers don't just fill out forms. Lawyers (1) determine what method of probate or guardianship is appropriate in a particular situation, (2) create or adapt any necessary paperwork., and (3) advise the client about the ongoing responsibilities of a fiduciary. Unless you are a lawyer, you're creating legal pleadings while acting as a fiduciary would constitute the unauthorized practice of law. Q: As a pro se, what proceedings can I do on my own? A: The only proceedings you can handle "as a pro se are those in which you truly would be representing only yourself. For example, a pro se applicant may probate a will as a muniment of title when he or she is the sole beneficiary under the will, and there are no debts against the estate other than those secured by liens against real estate. This procedure can be a viable option in some situations, but not in others. Whether a muniment of title is the correct probate procedure for a particular situation is a legal decision best made by a lawyer. Q: What procedures should I follow, i,f I want to probate a will as a muniment oftitle as a pro se applicant? A: As stated above, whether a muniment of title is the correct probate procedure for a particular situation is a legal decision best made by a lawyer; Court staff cannot guide you or advise what you should do in your case. Ifyou decide to proceed with your case without an attorney, the County Law Library has reference materials that may be helpful. Note the following: (1) To probate a will as a muniment of title, each applicant must be able to swear on personal knowledg~ that there are no debts against the estate other than those secured by liens against real estate. Anyone falsely swearing that the estate has no creditors including Medicaid estate recovery - is subject to a peIjury charge. (2) In a pro se application to probate a will as a muniment of title, all beneficiaries under the will must be applicants, and all beneficiaries must testify at the hearing. (3) The will being offered for probate must be the signed original, or you will need to follow the additional procedural requirements for proving up a will in court. You will need to research what's required for a self-proved will at the Law Library. If you discover that the will is a copy or is not self-proved, Court staff can give you infonnation about what the additional procedural requirements are, but you will need to create all additional documents.

Dear Guardian, You have either filed an application to be a guardian or have been identified as a current guardian. On June 1, 2018, each guardianship in Texas must be registered by the Judicial Branch Certification Commission

(JBCC). At your earliest convenience, please go to the following website to provide information about

yourself and the guardianship: http://www.txcourts.gov/jbcc/guardianship-registration/. You may have your attorney enter this information for you. If you were appointed guardian before June 1, 2018, you only need to register the guardianship information in JBCC on-line system and do not need to complete the guardianship training or criminal history background check. Attorneys..;.. who are themselves the guardian, Certified Guardians- certification is done . by the State and Corporate Fiduciaries (a bank or other financial institution) are exempt from the training and criminal history background check. Thank you for your attention to these matters. Sincerely, Beth Rothermel County Clerk Washington County Courthouse • 100 East Main Street • Suite 1
