What Is Probate?
Probate is the court process for settling a person's estate after they pass away. The court confirms whether a Will is valid, appoints someone to manage the estate, and oversees paying debts and distributing property to the people entitled to it. When there is no Will, Texas law decides who inherits, and the process can take more steps.
How We Help With Probate
- Probate of a Will: We file the Will with the probate court in the county where your loved one lived and guide the executor through each step.
- Estates without a Will: We help families establish who the legal heirs are and move the estate forward under Texas law.
- Simpler options when they fit: Some estates qualify for shorter alternatives to full administration. We'll tell you if yours may be one of them.
- Support for executors and administrators: Notices, inventories, creditor claims and final distribution, explained in plain language.
- Guardianship: When a family member can no longer make decisions for themselves, we help you protect them. Learn about guardianship →

Gather the original Will and the death certificate, then contact a probate attorney. We'll walk you through the filing and your duties.
