Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Texas the probate process is just that, it is a process. It involves needing legal representation. When there is no will, or estate plan and especially when heirs are fighting, it can be a labored and delayed process. It can be said with great certainty that disputes can cause major delays in the probate process and be more expense. It's important, when reviewing this process to see the value of having an estate plan. Whether you consider making a will, which can help expedite probate and make things move along nicely or you consider creating a trust that will avoid probate altogether; it's always a good idea to find ways to facilitate the process of probate. My personal goal for my clients is to allow easy transfer of assets directly from the decedent to the beneficiaries or maintain the assets in a trust with no further action needed until a next death. Grief tends to linger near the surface when you're the one in charge of a recently-deceased family member's estate through the lengthy probate process. While this may tempt you to rush through the probate timeline, doing so is impractical and often impossible. Probate of a loved one's estate can sometimes be necessary after they pass away. Navigating the court process while you are grieving can be overwhelming. Conversely, by having action steps in place with a will or trust, you can help reduce the stress and suffering of the loved ones you might leave behind. As a Texas state board-certified estate planning and probate attorney, I work to find the least time-consuming process available to transfer your loved one's assets to the intended heirs and beneficiaries. I hope this book has provided you with the information you need about the probate process in Texas and "what it looks like". I hope after reading this you feel more comfortable about moving forward with the probate process even though you may be in a situation of grief. It's important to move forward in a timely manner and not miss out on important probate deadlines.
