Proper estate planning is an essential part of taking control of your own financial future as well
as that of your loved ones. Unfortunately, many people don’t recognize this importance before
it’s too late. When people pass without a will or fail to properly set up a trust, the probate
process or estate administration can quickly become more complex and costly. From creating a
Texas living will to dealing with estate disputes, end-of-life legalities can be complicated,
stressful, and time-consuming. Fortunately, this isn’t something you have to face alone. An
experienced Texas probate lawyer can guide you through these difficult times

One of the most common questions our legal team hears regarding estate planning/probate law is whether it’s possible to avoid probate altogether. After all, proper estate planning allows individuals to specify exactly what they want done after they pass. From guardianship and trust administration to executor selection and designation of beneficiaries, there’s a lot that can be decided long before a person leaves this world. However, this does not necessarily mean probate court can be avoided — and this is why it’s so important to consider professional probate services.
The simple fact is that wills have to go through probate. However, certain assets can avoid probate in specific circumstances. For instance, designating beneficiaries on a bank account or adding a co-owner means that those funds can go directly to the designated individual without the nuances of probate law. A Texas probate attorney at our law firm can guide you through the process of what happens following the death of a loved one, as well as walk you through how you can help your loved ones during their time of grieving by making the legal process smoother for them.

When a person passes on, they typically leave some form of property. This is true even for individuals who don’t own real estate or other high-value assets. Unfortunately, the probate process is filled with complicated filing procedures and necessities that can take weeks or even months to fully complete. While many people do attempt probate on their own, they’re often left with results that seem unfair. Even simple oversights can result in significant problems.
Unfortunately, many of these problems are difficult to correct once an estate has been closed — and in some cases, such issues may go forever unidentified. After the passing of a loved one, the legal and financial aspects of estate administration can be overwhelming. Our experienced Texas probate attorneys are here to relieve the burden. We’ll walk you through the process, helping with tasks like asset valuation, debt settlement, and distribution.
We’ll take on the full burden of this process so you can focus on supporting your family during this challenging time.
We often work with clients who first attempted to navigate probate procedures on their own, but it doesn’t take long to realize how complex this process can be. Even if you look at the necessary steps on paper — which typically makes matters seem simpler than they truly are — it’s clear that probate law is complex and filled with hurdles. This is true even if no unexpected issues arise, and the likelihood of no such issues is often extremely low. Just consider the probate requirements in Texas:
