What Is Probate and Do You Need an Attorney?
Probate is the legal process of settling a person’s estate after death. That means verifying a will (if one exists), paying debts, and distributing property. Sounds simple, but here in Texas probate can get complicated fast.
Navigating through probate can be overwhelming with varying timelines, costs, and potential issues that may arise. Texas probate law involves a series of steps that must be meticulously followed:
- Filing an application with the probate court
- Posting notices for creditors and beneficiaries
- Inventorying and appraising estate assets
- Resolving debts and taxes
- Distributing the remaining assets according to the will or state laws
Attorney costs and court fees are also part of the equation, making it essential to have skilled legal counsel to efficiently manage expenses and mitigate common probate challenges.
