Whether you’re an executor, a beneficiary, or dealing with a contested estate, we’re here to help you understand your responsibilities, avoid costly mistakes, and ensure everything is handled according to Texas law.

What is Probate in Texas?

Probate is the court-supervised process of:

  • Verifying a will (if there is one)
  • Appointing a personal representative (executor or administrator)
  • Identifying and collecting assets
  • Paying valid debts and taxes
  • Distributing remaining assets to beneficiaries

Texas law provides several probate paths—some simple, some complex—and choosing the right approach is critical. Our firm helps determine the best course of action based on your unique situation.

Types of Probate in Texas

We represent clients in all probate procedures recognized under Texas law, including:

Independent Administration
A streamlined, cost-effective process where the executor has minimal court oversight. Common when the will permits it or all heirs agree.

Dependent Administration
More court involvement and oversight—typically required when there’s no will or family members don’t agree.

Muniment of Title
Used when there is a valid will, no debts, and probate is only needed to transfer real estate title.

Small Estate Affidavit
For estates valued at $75,000 or less (excluding homestead and exempt property), with no will.

Heirship Determinations & Affidavits
When someone dies without a will (intestate), we help establish rightful heirs and transfer property.
