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.

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.
