Our firm handles a full range of Probate and Administration.  Probate is the legal process by which a person's debts are paid and assets are distributed upon her or his death.  Lawyers refer to the entity that owns the assets until those assets are distributed as an "estate".  Estate Administration includes probate process as well as non-probate transfers of the deceased's assets.  The Texas Probate Code directs the probate court regarding how to distribute the deceased's estate.  Uncontested probate matters in Texas can be relatively expedient and inexpensive.
