Fort Worth Probate Attorney

Probate is the formal legal process of settling a deceased person's estate, validating their will, paying debts, and distributing assets under court supervision. It involves appointing a personal representative to manage the process and officially transferring property ownership to heirs, ensuring debts are paid first

Below are a few key goals of probate law:

Validation of the Will: The court confirms the last will and testament is valid.

Estate Administration: If there is no will (intestate), the court appoints an administrator to distribute assets according to state law.

Executor Appointment: The court formally authorizes an executor (named in the will) or an administrator (if no will exists) to act on behalf of the estate.

Asset Management: The representative gathers assets, pays final debts, taxes, and funeral expenses.

Distribution: Remaining assets are distributed to beneficiaries.
