Wills, Probate, and Trusts Lawyers

Acquiring a competent attorney to handle the estate planning affairs of a loved one is essential to protecting the integrity of your loved one’s wishes for how their estate is handled after they are gone. In the event that your loved one died without a will, it is the the court that decides how the estate is distributed among the heirs. Texas probate law is often complex and hiring an attorney to assist you can alleviate the stress of an already difficult situation.
 
Our firm also provides the service of drafting wills and other testamentary documents to plan for the future.

Probate Questions and Answers

  • What is probate?: Probate is a court-supervised process for distributing a deceased person’s estate and resolving any claims. For assistance with probate matters, consulting an attorney is recommended.
  • Do I need a will?: A will directs how your assets are distributed after death. It’s a critical part of estate planning, and an attorney can help determine if it suits your needs.
  • What is a trust, and how is it different from a will?: A trust helps manage and distribute assets without going through probate. Wills and trusts serve different purposes, and professional advice can guide your decision.
  • What happens if someone dies without a will?: When someone dies intestate (without a will), their estate is distributed according to state law. An attorney can explain how this process works and how to avoid potential complications.
  • How do I contest a will?: Contesting a will typically involves proving undue influence, lack of capacity, or fraud. A probate attorney can help assess your case and guide you through the process.
  • What are the benefits of setting up a living trust?: Living trusts help avoid probate and offer more control over asset distribution. They can also protect your privacy and simplify estate management. It’s advisable to consult with an attorney to explore the best approach for your estate plan.
  • Can I change my will or trust after it’s been created?: Yes, you can amend or revoke a will or trust. To ensure these changes are legally binding, working with an attorney is essential.
  • What assets go through probate?: Typically, assets solely owned by the deceased without designated beneficiaries are subject to probate. An attorney can help review your estate to clarify which assets may require probate.

We understand that these are probably only a few of the questions you have. You can find out more when you speak with an attorney.
