In case 25 CPR 042694, the Fort Bend County probate court admitted the will of Bernard Lewis Schindler (died May 20) and appointed his sister, Camille Pjanic, as independent executrix to serve without bond; appraisers were waived on the record.

Pjanic testified she is the decedent's sister, identified the will dated June 15, 2015, confirmed the decedent had no children and was divorced from a prior spouse, and said there was a need to administrate real property owned by the decedent. She asked the court to admit the will and issue letters testamentary.

The judge stated: "The court will admit the will and the probate and appoint miss Janek as independent executrix to serve without bond, and appraisers will be waived." The court offered condolences to the family and indicated the written order would be signed shortly after docketing.

No appraisal values or bond requirements were recorded during the hearing portion in the transcript.
