Wills & Probate Attorney in Houston, TX

In Texas the Probate process can be relatively simple and affordable, if there is a Valid Will. The steps to complete Probate of Valid Wills are established by law and probating the Will with the Courts is usually a predictable formality.

When the Will does not meet all of the qualifications needed to be what is considered a “Valid Will”  the process becomes a bit more complicated.  We regularly handle such cases and can help you understand how the requirements for Probate can still be met to get the Will entered into Probate and an Executor named.

One of the most important things you can do for your loved ones is prepare a valid Will. A Will allows your beneficiaries to distribute your property with little interference from the Court, with limited expense and in a relatively short period of time. A Will allows you to decide who will or will not receive your property when you pass.

We also offer preparation of Advanced Directives, Powers of Attorney and Medical Powers of Attorney.

The State of Texas offers several options to settle the estate of the deceased. Probate can become a long and expensive process when there is no Will. We work with the family to fully investigate the options and find the most efficient and cost-effective way to handle the individual estate. 

Law requires that a Will of a deceased party be timely probated.  Failure to Probate a Will means that the property of the deceased party cannot legally be recognized as belonging to the person to whom it was left. A Court must recognize a Will as being valid and only then can the property rightfully pass to the intended beneficiary. By law, a Will must be probated within 4 years of the death of a party.
