Who is required to provide a seller's disclosure notice when a property transfers through probate?

In Texas, when property transfers through probate, there is no legal requirement for anyone to provide a seller's disclosure notice. This situation arises because, during the probate process, the property is typically being transferred from the deceased individual to their heirs without a typical sales transaction. The nature of the transfer does not involve a traditional sale where a seller would disclose property conditions and issues to a buyer, as the heirs or the estate may not have first-hand knowledge of the property.

Options suggesting that heirs, an appointed administrator, or the deceased property owner are required to provide a seller's disclosure imply a misunderstanding of how disclosures relate to the probate process. In a sale, the seller is responsible for disclosing any known issues and the current condition of the property to potential buyers, but in a probate situation, the property is not being sold in the conventional sense and thus there is no disclosure obligation.
