We’re Here to Help

FAQs
How long does the probate process take in Texas? The duration of the probate process in Texas can vary significantly, from a few months to over a year, depending on the estate's complexity, the clarity of the will, and whether any disputes arise among beneficiaries. Straightforward cases can often be resolved more quickly, especially with professional legal guidance.
Is probate necessary if there is a will? Yes, in Texas, probate is still necessary when there is a will to legally transfer ownership of the deceased's assets to their beneficiaries. The will must be validated by the probate court, and the estate must be properly administered according to the will’s instructions.
Can the probate process be avoided in Texas? Certain assets can bypass the probate process through joint ownership, designated beneficiaries (like in life insurance policies and retirement accounts), or by being placed in a living trust. However, avoiding probate entirely requires careful estate planning and legal strategies tailored to your specific situation.
