San Antonio Probate Lawyer
Texas Probate Administration Attorney
If you have been named as the personal representative or the executor of an estate, you have been entrusted with an important duty. If you do not handle these matters regularly, you may not have a full understanding of your role. An experienced probate lawyer can be of vital assistance in helping you complete these various tasks and fulfilling your duties to the estate.
The law firm of Efron & Efron, Inc., has helped many people through the probate process since we opened our doors in 1971. Whether or not the estate has a will or does not have a will, we can efficiently handle all of the legal steps in the probate process.
Offering Convenient Service and Effective Representation in Probate
At the most basic form, probate is intended to serve as an orderly way to pay the debts of an estate and distributing the remaining assets of an estate to the rightful beneficiaries. While this sounds relatively simple, an estate administrator is responsible for taking on a number of different steps. We can assume your duties from the beginning to end and will work with the Probate Court on each of the following:
- Filing a will with the Probate Court, if there is a will
- Taking inventory of all the property
- Giving notice to creditors and paying valid debts
- Distributing the remaining assets according to the terms of a will; if there is no will, the assets will be distributed according to Texas law
If you are named personal representative of an estate, you have a fiduciary duty to perform these above tasks correctly. Failing to do so could leave you open to a lawsuit. Our convenient, professional service can be of great assistance during this time.
