Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is probate?
A: Probate is the legal process after someone passes away where a court oversees the distribution of their estate (property, assets, etc.) according to their will or state law if no will exists. Our office handles this process for clients in Laredo.
Q2: How long does probate take in Laredo, Texas?
A: The duration varies significantly depending on the estate's complexity, whether the will is contested, and the court's schedule. Simple estates may take a few months, while complex ones can take a year or longer. We manage the process efficiently from our Laredo office.
Q3: Do I need a lawyer for probate in Laredo?
A: While technically possible to handle probate without an attorney, it is highly recommended to have legal representation, especially in Laredo where Texas probate law can be complex. An attorney like ours at 1302 Washington Street can protect your interests and ensure proper handling of the estate.
Q4: What are the costs associated with probate services in Laredo?
A: Fees depend on the estate's value and complexity. We typically work on a contingent fee basis, meaning our legal fees are a percentage of the estate's assets we successfully recover or manage. We provide clear fee estimates from our Laredo practice.
Q5: Can you help if the deceased person did not have a will (intestate) in Laredo?
A: Absolutely. Our law office handles intestate succession cases in Laredo, where Texas intestacy laws determine how the estate is distributed among surviving family members. We can guide you through this process from our Washington Street location.
