Probate and Estate Law
Probate is the judicial process whereby a will is “proved” in a court of law and accepted as a valid public document that is the true last testament of the deceased, or whereby the estate is settled according to the laws of intestacy in the state of residence [or real property] of the deceased at time of death in the absence of a legal will.
The granting of probate is the first step in the legal process of administering the estate of a deceased person, resolving all claims and distributing the deceased person’s property under a will. A probate court decides the legal validity of a testator’s (deceased person’s) will and grants its approval, also known as granting probate, to the executor.
PROBATE SERVICE BY A DEDICATED ATTORNEY
The Mohr Law Firm offers estate probate representation to clients in Dallas County, Tarrant County, Denton County, Collin County and Bexar County area. An attorney will meet with you to discuss your situation, address your questions and concerns and explain your options.
Guardianships
Typically, guardianships entail a person, an estate, or both. Guardianships can be established when adults become mentally or physically incapable of looking after themselves. With a proper plan, a person can make their own guardianship decisions before the need arises. Without a plan, a person may be subject to laws and regulations that may or may not meet their ultimate desires. It’s never too early to discuss and plan for this issue with help from a probate attorney, and we are happy to help. We also deal with child custody and guardianships related to children.
