Probate Administration in Austin, TX

Oftentimes, when a loved one passes away, the only way to transfer ownership of their assets is through the legal process of probate administration. However, depending on your situation, there may be legal hazards you have to navigate in order to get the authority you need to make the transfers you desire. We can help guide you through whatever probate process you need, and answer any questions you have about the settling of your loved one’s estate.

Texas has several types of probate proceedings, which are different in the time required and expense. The probate procedure a client needs will depend upon the nature of the decedent’s assets, whether the decedent has a valid Texas will, and the total dollar value of the assets they owned. The most common processes are independent administration, dependent administration, determination of heirship (“intestacy”), muniment of title, small estate administration, and affidavit of heirship.
