Goliad County Probate Attorney

What is a Goliad County Probate Attorney and When Would You Need One?

When you are faced with the death of a loved one, their belongings and outstanding debts are entered into an estate, which is controlled by a probate court. A Goliad County probate attorney can help manage the filing of the Will if there is one. In the event that the deceased did not have a Last Will and Testament, then distribution of the assets is up to the court, a probate attorney can advocate on your behalf. In cases where there is a Will, the probate court is still responsible for determining the validity of it and ensuring that the wishes of the deceased are executed accordingly. Probate court can be very complicated and time consuming. Having an experienced Goliad County probate attorney can ease the stress of this process at this very difficult time.
