Probate & Estate Administration

When someone dies, the family faces legal decisions under time pressure while grieving. Texas law offers multiple probate paths — and they are not interchangeable. Independent administration, muniment of title, determination of heirship, and small estate affidavits each serve different situations, carry different costs, and move on different timelines. Choosing the right path at the outset is not a procedural detail; it is most of the value a probate attorney provides.

• Independent Administration
• Muniment of Title
• Determination of Heirship
• Small Estate Affidavits
• Dependent Administration
• Ancillary Probate for Out-of-State Decedents
• Will Contests
• Estate Administration & Creditor Claims

Every family's situation is different. The first conversation is about understanding the facts — the will, the assets, the debts, the family — and then telling you plainly which path applies and what it will cost.
