    Keith and his team were fantastic. We had heard horror stories of the probate process but our experience was fast and ...

    - Thomas M.
    "Thank you, Keith, I truly appreciate you."

    He researched my problem, consulted another expert just for a second opinion, and responded to me with the answers I needed. He is a SUPER PERSON.

    - Kathie
    "He was responsive and found the right resources for us."

    He helped my family navigate a unique probate and trust process right at the end of the year.

    - Previous Client
    "He is aggressive in court room while remaining respectful and compassionate to other lawyers and his clients."

    Keith is one of the finest and technically proficient lawyers I have ever met.

    - Jennifer
    "Whenever I had a question or concern, all I had to do was call or email Keith."

    Keith is very professional and was able to settle my family dispute.

    - Susan
    "Keith handled our case with both dignity and professionalism that is always needed in a disputed guardianship case."

    Keith would be the one attorney I hope I never set on the opposite side of the table against.

    - Bruce
    "Compassionate, no-nonsense, and fair."

    Mr. Morris represented me in a complicated and nasty probate matter. I am a paralegal and must say that Mr. Morris is in the top .5 of the 1% of excellent lawyers.

    - Jennifer L.
    "Made everything very easy."

    Keith was easy to reach and had a lot of knowledge about estate planning. He helped me and my family with our wills and helped set up trusts for my kids.

Hidalgo County Probate Attorney

Hidalgo County Probate Attorney Information & Services

Hidalgo County probate attorneys can provide valuable assistance to clients in some of the most difficult times — after the death of a loved one. Probate attorneys are legal professionals who make sure the deceased’s assets go to the right places. Immediately after a person dies in Hidalgo County, their assets and any liabilities they have, are compiled into an estate.

If a person dies without a Will, distribution of their assets can be tricky if multiple people make claims for them. If a person believes he or she should be receiving certain assets, a Hidalgo County probate attorney will fight for their client’s rights in Texas probate court. In situations where there is no Will, probate courts rely on probate attorneys and intestacy laws to ascertain how the decedent’s assets should be apportioned.

Probate Attorney Services

After a person has passed away, there are many detailed steps that must legally be taken in the process of probate. A Hidalgo County probate attorney can help in each of these steps, for example:

  • Tracking down all of the assets people own and placing a value on them.
  • Filing paperwork (including proof of death) with the court.
  • Attending court appearances during the probate process.
  • Providing notification to creditors of the decedent.

In addition to these services, a Hidalgo County probate attorney can assist in issues of estate planning while a person is still living. Drawing up a Will, setting up guardianships/conservatorships, legally transferring property, and answering questions about estate taxes and fees are all areas in which the assistance of a legal professional is a valuable asset.
