Calhoun County Probate Attorney Information & Services
If you’ve never experienced the death of a loved one, the Texas probate process is probably unfamiliar territory. A Calhoun County probate attorney can help explain this system and provide advice and guidance throughout the process. Probate is the process by which the decedent’s assets and liabilities are put into an estate, which is overseen and administered by a probate court. If the decedent left a Will, the court will pay the debts of the estate and distribute assets accordingly. When a Will is not in place or the Will is contested, the court will hear arguments from a Calhoun County probate attorney and look at intestacy laws when determining the distribution of the estate.
Probate Lawyers: What Services Do They Provide?
A Calhoun County probate attorney can be a valuable asset. Aside from the probate proceedings, these attorneys have the knowledge and experience needed to draw up a Will, advise on matters related to conservatorships and guardianships, and answer questions about inheritance law, property rights and estate taxes.
When it comes to the probate process, a Calhoun County probate attorney can:
- Represent beneficiaries in court hearings.
- File legal paperwork.
- Appraise the assets of the estate.
- Notify creditors.
The smooth resolution of the estate is always a hoped for outcome, but there are times when this is not the case. It is an unfortunate truth that sometimes people will try to take advantage of the death of a family member or friend. If a Will is contested or there is no Will in existence, the services of a probate lawyer are even more important to see that clients’ rights are defended and that the wishes of the decedent are honored.
