What We Handle
Probate Administration
Independent and dependent administration of estates — from filing the application through final distribution.
Muniment of Title
Simplified probate for qualifying estates where the only asset is real property and there are no debts.
Small Estate Affidavit
Efficient resolution for small estates that qualify under Texas law — no full probate required.
Guardianship Proceedings
Guardianship of the person and estate for incapacitated adults and minors. Applications, hearings, and annual reporting.
Fiduciary Representation
Representing executors, administrators, and trustees in their fiduciary duties and disputes.
Contested Estate Matters
Will contests, breach of fiduciary duty claims, and disputes among heirs and beneficiaries.
Efficient. Transparent. Compassionate.
Probate doesn't have to be a years-long ordeal. We move cases efficiently, communicate clearly, and keep families informed at every step. Most uncontested estates can be resolved in months, not years.

We quote flat fees for standard probate and guardianship matters so families know the cost upfront. Payment plans available. Call to discuss your estate.
