Get Matched With an AttorneyWhen Do You Need a Probate Attorney?
Not every estate requires legal representation — but most do. Here are the most common situations where an attorney is essential.
Filing a Will
The original will must be filed with the county probate court. An attorney prepares the application and represents you at the hearing.
Getting Letters Testamentary
This is your court-issued authority to act as executor. Without it, you can't sell property, access accounts, or manage the estate.
No Will Exists
When someone dies without a will, Texas intestate succession laws determine who inherits. An attorney navigates the heirship determination.
Heir Disputes
If family members disagree about the property or distribution, an attorney helps find a path forward without destroying relationships.
Estate Has Debts
An attorney ensures debts and liens are paid in the correct legal order and that you're not personally liable for estate obligations.
Out-of-State Heirs
If you don't live in Texas, an attorney can handle court appearances and filings on your behalf — so you don't have to fly in.
