We Handle All Aspects of Probate in Texas
Texas has a probate system that is different from any other state. I understand the unique features of Texas probate, and I use that knowledge to minimize the time and expense of the process for my clients.
My goal is to handle the legal burden so you can focus on getting through this difficult time.
To make probate as efficient and smooth as possible, I make all necessary appearances in probate court and handle all necessary court documents, including:
- Applying to probate the will and obtaining Letters Testamentary
- Proof of death
- Oath of executor
- Notice to creditors
- Inventory and appraisement of the estate
- Any necessary waivers/notices to beneficiaries
In addition to hearings and documentation, I help executors and estate administrators with a variety of duties, such as:
- Paying the debts of the estate
- Transferring property to beneficiaries named in a will or trust
- Clearing title to inheritances coming by way of intestacy (where a person died without a will)

In most cases I will give you a quote in advance of the legal fees I will charge as well as an estimate of the expenses for which you will be liable. I try very hard to work on a transactional basis, as opposed to an hourly basis; however, you should be aware that in some matters, such as litigation matters, I must work on an hourly or contingency basis.
