Texas Probate Matters
and Documents
As an Austin
Texas
Probate Attorney, Jason Coomer helps families through
probating of Wills and intestate matters. If there is
no Will, he can assist heirs in obtaining a Affidavit of Heirship, Small
Estate Affidavit, or Suit to Determine Heirship. These
documents and proceedings help heirs
that need to sell homes or other real estate that the
decedent left. They can also help heirs claim assets
including stocks, bank accounts, pensions, oil interests,
law suit proceeds, and disability payments for their lost
loved ones.
If there is
a Will, the Will will
need to be probated. Under Texas Probate law the
probate process is a fairly
simple process. In fact, Texas has the simplest and least
expensive probate law in the nation. However, it is a
good idea to have a Probate attorney walk you through the
process as there are several rules that need to be
followed.
Without a
Valid Will or
proper Estate Planning
in Texas, a person's property will be distributed under
Texas intestate law. Unfortunately, this can sometimes mean that the estate may be a
dependant administration where the Court has to
approve all distributions, guardianships, and sales of
property. A dependant administration can be expensive,
but sometimes it is the best way to probate an estate.
Having a probate lawyer assist you through a dependant
administration is almost essential when dealing with a large
estate.
Under Texas Intestate law, a surviving
spouse does not always inherit the estate. In fact, parents
and siblings of the deceased can inherit portions of
property that prevent a surviving spouse from selling
property. Further, if minor children are involved their
interests in real estate can prevent sale or refinancing
unless there is a court order or a designated ad litem or
guardian. The name of the game in Probate Law is to plan
before hand. If this was not done or if the estate planning
was done incorrectly, make sure that you have a good
attorney to help you through the probate process.
If someone
close to you has died and you need to obtain control of
assets or even worse if there are others that are attempting
to wrongfully seize assets, make sure that there is someone
to look out for your interests. Someone to assist in
seeking inventories and obtaining an accounting as to what
has been spent and what needs to be done to free up property
and assets.
