Fort Worth Probate Lawyers
What Is Probate in Texas?
When someone passes away and leaves behind an estate and a will, division of the deceased’s property should be fairly straightforward. However, that does not mean the court system will not get involved. In many instances where a will is the primary document outlining how an estate will be divided, that estate must enter the probate process.
Probate is the legal process that handles the will and takes care of the individual’s last affairs, distributing property and paying down debts. This process requires a significant amount of paperwork and a lengthy time in court. Without the help of a skilled probate attorney, those beneficiaries named in the will could lose some of the assets or property they should receive to the court costs associated with this process.

The Probate Process & How to Avoid Probate in Tarrant County
If you have lost a loved one and the estate is heading toward probate, you will want to consult with an attorney to ensure that you understand the process and are able to protect as much of the estate as possible. We provide compassionate service to those entering the probate courts to deal with an estate.
After an individual has died, nothing can be done to avoid the probate process. However, if you have an estate you want to protect from this process, you can take measures before your death to do so.
