Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does probate involve?
Probate is the legal process after someone passes away where their estate (assets and debts) is officially recognized by the court, debts are settled, and remaining assets are distributed according to their will (or state law if no will exists).
Q: Do I need a lawyer for probate?
While technically possible to handle probate without legal representation, it is highly recommended to hire a probate attorney. Probate involves court procedures, legal requirements, potential creditor claims, and complex Texas laws. An attorney ensures your rights are protected and the process is handled correctly.
Q: How long does probate take in Laredo, Texas?
The duration varies significantly based on factors like estate complexity, creditor claims, will validity, and court efficiency. Simple cases might take a few months, while contested or complex estates can take years. Our firm works efficiently to manage the process.
Q: What is the cost of your probate services?
We offer various fee arrangements for probate matters, including traditional fees, flat rates for specific tasks, or court-approved fee applications. A consultation is the best way to discuss your specific situation and potential costs.
Q: Can you help if the deceased person lived outside Texas?
Yes, if the estate has assets located in Texas, or if the named executor or beneficiaries reside in Texas, Texas probate law may apply. Our firm handles probate matters involving Texas assets and law for clients in the Laredo area.
