Experienced Legal Guidance For Estate And Probate Matters

Death is never a comfortable or easy topic. But if your loved one has recently passed away, it has no doubt been on your mind a lot. In addition to coping with your grief, you must also shoulder the daunting challenge of administering their estate. If your relative passed away intestate, this task becomes even more complex.

You may also be contemplating your own end-of-life plans. You may be wondering what will happen to your loved ones after you die. Establishing an estate plan early on not only assures you that your wishes will be adhered to after your death; it also makes things easier for your loved ones. It is a gift for them to not have to debate how to handle your assets and end-of-life care. They can remain confident that your preferences are being carried out and your legacy honored.

Independent Administration: Do I Really Need An Attorney?

Texas allows a process called independent administration. This means that an executor can administer an estate with very little supervision from the court. This leads many executors to forego an attorney’s assistance. If you are a named executor, this decision may save you money in the short term, but it is not always wise.

Estates that seem simple at first glance often run into legal hassles. Attempting to administer an estate on your own may cost you precious time and money in the long run. It is far better to consult a lawyer to avoid costly mistakes.
