The right probate attorney makes the difference between a smooth estate administration and months of unnecessary complications. We’ve structured our practice to excel at serving clients whose needs go beyond what a typical local attorney can provide—whether that’s because of geographic challenges, estate complexity, or the need for specialized knowledge.
Texas probate law isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is our approach to helping families navigate this process. Over years of focusing exclusively on probate and estate administration across Texas, we’ve developed particular focus in serving specific types of clients who face unique challenges in settling Texas estates.
Your situation: You need to handle Texas probate matters without repeatedly traveling to Texas or coordinating with multiple local attorneys.
Settling a Texas estate from another state presents unique challenges. Texas probate courts have specific requirements that vary by county, and managing these remotely requires attorneys who understand both the legal requirements and practical logistics. We’ve built our practice to serve out-of-state families efficiently, using technology and established court relationships to minimize or eliminate the need for you to travel to Texas.
Common scenarios we handle:
Your situation: The estate involves multiple properties, business interests, or assets scattered across different Texas counties.
Complex estates require more than basic probate knowledge. When assets span multiple counties, include operating businesses, or involve sophisticated investment structures, you need attorneys who understand both the legal complexities and practical challenges. Our statewide practice means we can handle properties from Houston to El Paso through one firm, while our exclusive focus on probate ensures we understand the nuances of transferring every type of asset.
Common scenarios we handle:
Your situation: You need attorneys experienced in contested probates, will challenges, and inheritance disputes.
Family disputes during probate require both legal expertise and strategic thinking. Whether defending a will against challenges, resolving disagreements among beneficiaries, or dealing with claims against the estate, these situations demand attorneys who understand Texas probate litigation. We work to resolve disputes efficiently when possible, but we’re prepared to protect your interests in court when necessary.
Common scenarios we handle:
Your situation: You want guidance navigating your fiduciary duties and personal liability concerns.
Serving as executor or administrator carries significant responsibilities and potential personal liability. Texas law imposes specific duties on fiduciaries, with deadlines and requirements that can overwhelm those unfamiliar with the process. We guide executors and administrators through every step, ensuring you fulfill your duties while protecting yourself from liability. Our guidance helps you make informed decisions and properly document your actions.
Common scenarios we handle:
Your situation: You benefit from our streamlined processes and knowledge of how to expedite probate proceedings.
Some probate matters can’t wait. Whether facing the four-year deadline to probate a will, needing immediate authority to manage estate assets, or dealing with time-sensitive business matters, delays can cost money and create complications. Our streamlined processes and court relationships allow us to move quickly when circumstances demand it, without sacrificing thoroughness or compliance with legal requirements.
Common scenarios we handle:
Your situation: You’re managing ancillary probate in Texas while handling primary probate elsewhere.
When someone dies owning property in multiple states, you often need separate probate proceedings in each state. Texas ancillary probate has specific requirements that differ from primary probate proceedings. We coordinate with out-of-state attorneys to ensure smooth asset transfer while minimizing duplication of effort and expense. Our experience with ancillary proceedings means we know exactly what Texas courts require and how to efficiently coordinate with proceedings in other states.
Common scenarios we handle:
Whether you’re managing an estate from across the country, navigating complex family dynamics, or simply need experienced guidance through Texas’s probate process, we understand that every situation is unique.
We’ve helped hundreds of families in circumstances just like yours—transforming what often feels overwhelming into a clear, manageable process with predictable costs and timelines. Don’t let geographic distance, estate complexity, or unfamiliarity with Texas probate law delay important decisions.
