The Need
for a Texas Probate Lawyer
All too
often a loved dies unexpectedly and does not leave a Will or
any directions on what needs to be done if they die.
On other occasions the death of a loved one bring in
estranged family, fraudulent claims of inheritance, and
vultures that prey on the disabled or those left behind.
In these cases, it can be difficult to gather up information
on what property is in their estate or to fight off
aggressive family members from wrongfully taking
inheritance. In these situations, it is often best to
have an experienced Austin Texas Probate Lawyer help you
through the probate process and explain your rights and what
needs to be done to protect the rightful heirs and
beneficiaries of an estate.
Austin
Travis County Texas Probate Attorney, Jason Coomer, helps
families through the probate process and vigorously defends
rightful heirs and beneficiaries from those that attempt to
take advantage of a death or disability by trying to
fraudulently steal from an estate.
Austin Texas Estate Planning
Estate
planning allows you to protect yourself,
your family and loved ones now and in the future. A skilled
Estate Planning and
Texas
Probate Lawyer can use
Wills, Trusts,
Medical Directives,
and Powers of Attorney,
to fulfill your wishes and protect you and your family if
you become unable to do so.
The Estate Planning
process may involve setting up legal documents and
non-probate assets to
provide support for a spouse and minor children,
investment management, business operations, tax
minimization, or making sure you are cared for if you are
unable to care for yourself. Wills, trusts, life insurance
policies, and other estate planning tools not only allow you
to designate who will inherit your property and wealth when
you are gone, but can also make things much easier for the
people that you leave behind by allowing them to avoid
expensive and complicated legal procedures.
Without proper estate planning, loved ones who are left
behind often face difficult decisions, huge expenses, long
delays, and financial stress when going through the probate
system. They can also face difficult times in the
Texas Probate Courts. Without a will or trust in Texas, a deceased
person's property will be distributed under Texas law and
the property may pass to people the deceased did not intend
to benefit.
This State directed distribution of assets can cause
problems for surviving family members in several ways. For
instance, because the surviving spouse does not always
inherit the entire estate, parents and siblings of the
deceased can inherit portions of property, such as the house
the couple lived in. This joint inheritance of a house could
prevent the surviving spouse from selling the property.
Further, if minor children are involved, their interests in
real estate can prevent the surviving spouse from selling or
refinancing unless there is a court order or a designated
guardian that approves the sale. This approval process can
take quite a while and can become an impediment to selling a
home in a timely manner.
In planning your estate and creating your will, there are
several steps you can take to make sure the process goes as
smoothly as possible for your loved ones after your passing.
For Instance, it is a good idea to make sure that there is
an inventory of all important assets with approximate values
and other pertinent information (account numbers &
passwords) of all bank accounts, real estate, retirement
funds, mineral interests, cash, and other valuables. It is
wise to keep this inventory with the original copy of your
will in a safe place. Without the original copy of the will,
there is a presumption under Texas law that the will was
destroyed by the testator or decedent and it can be thrown
out of court.
When a family member dies it causes great grief,
uncertainty, and financial stress for the surviving family.
This is particularly true when no estate planning has been
done. The last thing grieving family members want to deal
with is a slow legal system, unexpected delays, bills,
mortgages, and bank issues they had no idea even existed.
Plan your estate now and save your family some money,
prevent unnecessary legal battles, and make a future
difficult time a bit less stressful for your family.
