“Probate” refers to the legal process of transferring certain types of assets from a loved one’s estate after they die to that individual’s beneficiaries or heirs, depending on whether that person died with or without a Will. When someone dies with a Will, it is called dying “testate,” and the estate passes to the named beneficiaries under the Will once it has been admitted in a court of law. If someone dies without a Will, it is called dying “intestate,” and the estate passes to the individual’s natural heirs at law, which has been predetermined by the Texas Legislature. A person’s heirs must be established in a court of law before the estate can be distributed. Both the estate and the intestate probate process can be a daunting and overwhelming task.
Having an experienced attorney who can maneuver through the court system on your behalf is crucial for efficiently administering the estate, as well as saving on costs and expenses.
