Texas intestacy laws say that if you die without a will, your estate is automatically entered into the probate process. Your beneficiaries will need to show the court that they are entitled to fair distribution of your assets. An estate lawyer assisting in the development of your will could save your family up to two years worth of probate court hassles.
The purpose of your will is to protect your loved ones. This means that your beneficiaries will have rights. They can make inquiries about how your estate is being distributed and file suits and complaints about how the estate is being executed. Your estate lawyer should anticipate any infringement on these rights and help you plan for them accordingly.
When a person dies without having transferred ownership of their assets or property, the estate must go through probate court. This process involves settling old debts, gathering assets, and distributing them fairly and reasonably. If you don’t set up a trust or survivorship in place, you should expect your estate to go through probate.
