Houston, Texas Probate Lawyer

Texas Wills Probate & Estate Planning Attorneys

Estate Planning Made Easy

We do not like to think about it, but at some point in time each of us will be faced with the loss of a loved one or the need to plan our own long-term care or eventual death. Are the financial and personal affairs in order? Who is to inherit the property and how are these arrangements to be handled? Who would take care of an elderly family member who is no longer able to care for him or herself? Who will care for and support the minor children in the event of a parent's untimely death?

These are not pleasant topics, but they should not be left unattended. The attorneys with the Thompson Law Firm have many years experienced dealing with these sensitive matters. Fortunately, in most cases, a viable and comprehensive estate plan can be formulated for you and your family in a prompt and cost-effective manner.

Whether it is a simple will, trust instrument, or powers of attorney, the Thompson Law Firm can recommend and prepare a suitable and custom-tailored estate plan to fit your personal needs.

Probate in Texas

Probate refers to the legal process of settling a diseased person's estate. The probate process will necessarily include dividing and transferring ownership of the decedent's property to the rightful beneficiaries and heirs. The probate process may also include review and payment of debts owed by the decedent and decedent estate and support provisions for the decedent's dependents.

The Texas Probate Code authorizes a variety of probate procedures, depending on the personal circumstances of the decedent and the decedent's estate. The attorneys with the Thompson Law Firm are experienced in reviewing and recommending the appropriate probate procedure for the particular case.

Quite often, the Thompson Law Firm can personally handle, or guide you through, the entire probate process. Our attorneys will be with you step-by-step in this important legal process. The good news is that many estates in Texas can be probated simply, quickly, and affordably.
