Probate administration
Navigating Probate Administration in Texas
Probate is the legal process through which a deceased person's estate is administered, debts are settled, and assets are distributed to heirs or beneficiaries. In Texas, probate can be conducted through two primary methods: independent and dependent administration. Independent administration, which is more common, allows the executor/administrator to manage the estate with minimal court supervision, streamlining the process. Conversely, dependent administration requires court approval for each step, providing greater oversight but often extending the timeline and increasing costs. The probate process typically involves filing the will and application for probate or application to determine heirship where there is no will available, appointing an executor/administrator, inventorying the estate's assets, notifying creditors, paying debts and taxes, resolving disputes, and distributing the remaining assets to beneficiaries.​
Given the complexities and potential challenges of probate, having experienced legal guidance is essential to ensure the process proceeds smoothly and in accordance with Texas law.​

Advance directives & powers of attorney
Planning ahead isn’t just about managing your estate—it’s also about making sure your medical and financial wishes are honored if you become unable to make decisions for yourself. Advance directives, including living wills and medical powers of attorney, allow you to outline your preferences for healthcare and appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf. Similarly, a durable power of attorney lets you designate someone to manage your financial affairs if you are incapacitated. These legal tools provide peace of mind for you and clarity for your loved ones during challenging times.
