Problem
I. Suzy Q lives in Dallas, Texas, but she dies in Austin, Texas. Which probate court will likely have jurisdiction over her estate?
II. Suzy Q leaves behind a will that leaves all of her property to her children to be divided equally. The children all get along and the eldest sibling was nominated to serve as executor. What type of administration are Suzy Q's children likely to seek? Will they likely want the eldest sibling to serve with bond or without bond?
III. Will the court automatically appoint the eldest sibling to serve? What considerations will the Court take into account?
IV. Will the eldest sibling necessarily want the role of executor? What considerations will he take into account?
