Texas Probate - That's all we do

Probate a Will

Probate without a Will

Probate without a Will

If there is a Will, the Will has to be admitted to probate, and the probate estate needs to be distributed to persons entitled thereto, in a manner that complies with Texas law.

If there is no Will, the probate estate still needs to be distributed to persons entitled thereto.  Additional steps are required to determine who is entitled to the estate. 

Ancillary Proceedings

Ancillary Proceedings

With Will or without a Will, in certain situations no estate administration is necessary, and a quicker and less complicated method can be used to distribute estate assets to heirs. 

How Fast can a Probate be completed?

When we visit with a client and start a probate, we jump on the case and complete the process fast.

Probate of a Will and appointment of an Executor or Administrator.  Generally we can get Letters Testamentary issued within three weeks.  Once issued, the executor or administrator has authority to handle the estate, collect assets, pay bills, etcetera.


Probate of a Will as a Muniment of Title.  Generally, we can complete the process within four weeks, at which time assets can be transferred into the names of the beneficiaries. 


Probate without a Will.  These will take somewhat longer, because an independent attorney is appointed by the court to research potential unknown beneficiaries and prepare a report to the court.  However, we still manage to obtain Letters Testamentary mostly within a 90 day period. 


The estimated time periods are somewhat dependent on the court calendar and the court having an opening for a hearing date.  The estimated periods also presuppose there is no opposition to a filing and court request.
