WILLS AND TRUSTS

A properly drafted will is of vital importance to you and your family. Your will may be the final message your family will hear from you. Whether your estate is small and simple or large and complex, we don't believe that a standardized form can adequately express your wishes.

​

Our office believes in speaking to you as an individual and getting to know your situation and your family's needs before helping you draft a will that will accomplish your goals. We will ask you many detailed questions during the process such as:

​

  • What are your estate planning goals?

  • What property and people do you want to protect?

  • Are there organizations that you'd like to give gifts to?

  • Are there any negative results or family conflicts that you want to avoid?

PROBATE/ESTATE PLANNING

It is certainly true that probate can be time-consuming and expensive. It is also true that many estates can be probated quickly and with minimal expense. You do not have to be intimidated by the probate process. An experienced lawyer can help you make sense of the process and handle any problems that may come up.

 

At the Lamar Legal Group, we are committed to helping clients navigate the probate process as smoothly and efficiently as possible. When you come to us, we will listen closely to your needs and concerns, help you make wise decisions, and clearly explain what is going on at every stage of your case.

​

In Texas, there are different types of probate with different requirements, but each type generally starts out the same. The process begins with filing the initial application and getting a personal representative appointed. After that, a variety of things occur, including:

​

  • Filing the will with the court, where it is proved valid or invalid

  • If there is no will, the court will determine the identity of the heirs

  • Accounting for all the assets of the estate and reporting the results to the court

  • Creditors are given notice of the death and are given the opportunity to make claims against the estate

  • Debts and expenses of the estate will be paid

  • Remaining assets are distributed according to the will or according to Texas law, if there is no will

  • If there is a dispute about the validity of a will or a disagreement about how assets should be distributed, probate litigation may occur
