Funeral home president ‘immediately removed’ by judge as executor of client’s will, records show

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) — A judge ordered that the president of a funeral home be “immediately removed” as the “executor” of a client’s will.

A Harris County probate judge wrote in the court filing that “sufficient grounds appear to support a belief that (Unique Green) is about to misapply or embezzle all or part of the property committed to the independent executor’s care.”

Green was hired by the decedent’s out-of-state family to assist with cremation, according to a search warrant.

The individual was found in a state of advanced decomposition during a welfare check called in by the family in June of 2025.

The will, filed more than two months after the 78-year-old was found dead, reads, “It is my deliberate and heartfelt decision to leave my entire estate to my long-term partner and common-law spouse, Unique M. Green, in recognition of her unwavering love, devotion, and support throughout our time together.” It goes on to say, “I firmly believe that this distribution most faithfully reflects my values, intentions, and the relationship that has defined and sustained me in my later years.”

The will details more than $1.5 million in assets, including bank accounts, three vehicles, a home, and other personal property.

A search warrant filed by detectives in Harris County states that there is no indication that Green and the decedent knew each other prior to her family contacting him to provide services. The search warrant states the detective was informed by the man’s family that he lived alone and “there has never been a spouse of the deceased and there is no Unique Mica Battle Green until they talked to this person for the funeral home services.”

Detectives noted a number of discrepancies in the will, including an incorrect birth year listed and a marriage certificate between Green and someone else. The search warrant also said that Green’s sister was listed as the person who should take over in the event that Green cannot serve as executor.

13 Investigates obtained photos showing Green and a crew of several others outside the decedent’s southwest Houston home in November, reportedly cleaning it out. The team also spotted at least one of the decedent’s vehicles listed in the will parked on property listed in court records as being associated with Green.

As part of the probate case, Green filed a response denying all of the allegations made by the decedent’s surviving family members and provided documentation from a hired handwriting analyst who said the decedent’s signature on the will matched his past signatures.

A judge ruled that Green had 10 days to turn over all of the decedent’s property, including documents and money.

In a statement through her attorney, Green told 13 Investigates that she is unable to comment on specific allegations or claims being raised, stating:

“Ms. Green categorically denies any wrongdoing and is confident that the full facts will demonstrate that she acted lawfully and appropriately at all times. She looks forward to being fully vindicated once she has the opportunity to present evidence and be heard in court.”

The funeral home that Green is listed as the president of, A Community Funeral Home in Third Ward, was raided by police in November 2025. Officers on scene said it was related to identity theft and for operating without a license. Several boxes of cremains were seized by law enforcement.

Green is not facing any criminal charges related to the raid. She does have a pending forgery charge in Harris County in a dispute with a landlord.
