Experienced Houston Probate Attorney
With over 30 years experience we seek to provide quick and accurate solutions to those who need help with filling Probate Cases. Whether you have a Will that needs to be distributed to heirs and beneficiaries or even if there is no Will, we can help you.
We would like to give you the special one on one time that you need with one of our experienced lawyers. Typically we see a lot of referrals because of the pride and care that goes into each case we take on.
Our Probate Attorney will help you through the Probate process in the following ways:
- Filing the Will for probate with the proper Court or filing an Application for Administration in cases where there is not valid Will.
- Conducting a hearing for the Court in which the Will is proved up and the Executor is appointed. In the case where there is no will a Determination of Heirship will need to be conducted.
- Notifying heirs and creditors according to legal requirements.
- Inventory of the total property owned by the deceased
- Ensuring that all dues are paid off such as taxes and other debts
- Distribution of the estate remaining as the will directs or as the state directs if there is no valid will
Even though in typical situations probate involves paperwork and court appearances by one of our experienced staff, many of the duties of an executor or administrator are handled by the personal representative with directive from the probate lawyer.
Keep in mind that a Will needs to be filed within four years of the date of the death. Also the county of the deceased is where the filing will occur. However there are some special cases where there may not be a need to go through full probate proceeding. In some cases, no probate is recommended or solutions like an Affidavit of Heirship or a Muniment or Title proceeding. Your probate attorney will provide you with a solution that is customized to your specific needs and situation.
