Texas has a model system for probate of wills and administration of estates. Generally, we are able to obtain and Order probating a will within two weeks of the time we are retained. The Order probating a will generally starts the independent administration of a decedent's estate. Administration is the process by which the court-appointed independent executor gathers the decedent's assets, pays the legitimate bills, and distributes the decedent's property to people or organizations named in the will. We strive to be efficient in the use of our time and your money in lawfully and diligently seeing that the estate is properly administered, whether we represent the independent executor appointed by the court or a beneficiary named in the will.
