Here are some of the types of probate our firm handles:

• Probate Administration: Independent and dependent administration is where the court appoints a personal representative of an estate to gather the assets of an estate, pay the debts and distribute the remaining assets to the beneficiaries. If the decedent had a will, the personal representative is usually named in the will.
• Heirship: When a person in Texas dies without a will or in other situations, an heirship proceeding is necessary for the court to determine the lawful heirs.
• Other proceedings less complicated than the administration of an estate or an heirship such as Muniment of Title, Affidavit of Heirship and Small Estate Affidavits are options in some situations.
