Probate is the process of gathering a decedent's assets, paying all debts and distributing the remaining assets according to the decedent's wishes as spelled out in a will. If a person dies without a will, the assets are distributed according to Texas laws of intestacy.

The Texas probate process is more streamlined than in many other states, but most probate courts still require an executor be represented by an attorney. Failure to navigate the process correctly can delay administration of an estate and result in litigation.

Mackoy, Hernandez, Jones and Woods LLP provide experienced legal counsel in probate and all other estate planning matters. If the decedent had extensive assets, the probate process can be complicated. Our extensive experience valuing complex assets for property division purposes in divorce benefits our probate clients.
