What Are The Steps Of Probate In Texas?
The court system uses probate to validate a will and distribute assets. It ensures that debts are paid and the remaining property goes to the correct people. These are the major steps of probate:
- File an application for probate with the court.
- The court holds a hearing to recognize the will and appoint an executor.
- Create an inventory of assets belonging to the estate.
- Notify creditors and resolve any claims against the estate.
- Distribute property to the heirs.
Fortunately, our San Antonio probate lawyers will handle the technical details so you can focus on your family.
What Are Some Common Issues That Arise During Probate?
Even simple estates can face unexpected problems. We see many families struggle with the following issues:
- Disagreements over the value of real estate or other assets.
- Claims that a parent was not in their right mind when they signed a will.
- Missing titles to vehicles or deeds to property.
- Conflict between siblings regarding the choice of an executor.
These issues can delay the process for months or years. We step in to resolve these conflicts quickly to preserve family harmony. If they escalate into an estate dispute, we can represent you in litigation, as needed.
