What a Probate Attorney Can Do for You
- Assistance through the probate process: Probate is the process by which a person’s debts are paid, taxes are filed, and property is distributed to heirs or beneficiaries according to instructions in a Will or as defined under Texas inheritance law. If you have been named the executor or administrator of an estate, we will walk you through the process step-by-step so you feel confident that you have completed every requirement according to the letter of the law.
- Guidance through the process of administering an estate: If no Will exists, the court will appoint an administrator to handle the business of distributing an estate. When you agree to administer an estate, you have a fiduciary duty to act in the heirs’ best interests. We can help you perform your duties effectively.
- Advice on probate alternatives: In certain circumstances you may be able to avoid much of the probate process when transferring assets. We can advise you of any probate alternatives that are less expensive, faster or better for the heirs and beneficiaries of the estate.
- Heirship determinations: A Will names the beneficiaries who are to receive assets. If a person dies without a Will, Texas law defines who will be rightful heirs. We assist administrators and heirs in legal matters concerning inheritance rights.
- Legal help obtaining (or fighting) guardianship: We are well versed in all issues concerning guardianship. We can help you understand your obligations and rights as guardian. We represent prospective guardians in guardianship proceedings. We also represent adults, other family members or interested parties who wish to dispute the need for guardianship.
- Estate and probate litigation: Although most probate disputes get resolved outside of the courtroom, you can have confidence that your lawyer is willing to fight for you all the way through trial, and beyond. We are highly skilled in taking cases to trial.
