Probate In Texas

Probate is the Texas court procedure that determines whether a will is valid or invalid. The probate process typically involves collecting the deceased’s assets, liquidating debts and other liabilities, paying estate taxes and distributing property to beneficiaries.

Texas offers three mechanisms for administering, or probating, an estate:

• Independent administration
• Dependent administration
• Muniment of title

Each of these methods of probate has distinct characteristics and specific applications under Texas estate law. An attorney at Regan Armstrong & Associates, PLLC, can help you understand the type of probate best suited for your particular circumstances.

Why Do You Need A Probate Lawyer?

The activities in the probate process are the responsibility of the executor or administrator of the estate under the supervision of the probate court. Although it is possible for an estate executor to go through the probate process on their own, it is often wise to seek the advice of an experienced Cypress, Texas, estate administration lawyer, as probate can be complex and needs to be seen through with great attention to detail. Even the slightest mistake could create significant challenges and potentially reduce the assets available to heirs.
