Every Path, Not Just One

Muniment of title. Independent administration. Dependent administration. Small estate affidavits. Determination of heirship. Affidavits of heirship. We know which path fits your situation — and which paths save the estate the most time and money.

2

Fast-Track When Eligible

If the estate qualifies for muniment of title, we can complete probate in as little as two to four weeks. For estates that need independent administration, we minimize court supervision so the executor can act without ongoing hearings.

3

Executor Protection

As an executor, you're personally liable for getting the deadlines and distributions right. We walk you through every statutory requirement — creditor notice, inventory, accountings, and the tax filings most online guides miss.

Common Questions

Answers Before You Call

How long does Texas probate take?
It depends on the path. Muniment of title (a simplified probate for estates with a valid will and no unsecured debts) can finish in two to four weeks in Collin County. Independent administration typically takes four to nine months. Dependent administration — where the court supervises every step — can take a year or more. We determine which path fits your facts at the first consultation.
How much does probate cost in Texas?
Court filing fees run roughly $300–$500 depending on the county. Attorney fees for straightforward uncontested probate typically range from $2,500 to $4,500 on a flat fee for muniment of title, $3,500 to $7,500 for independent administration, and higher for contested estates or dependent administrations. You'll know the flat fee before we file.
Do I need probate if everything was in a trust?
Usually no — assets properly titled in a living trust avoid probate entirely. But if even one asset (a forgotten bank account, a vehicle title, a house deed) was left outside the trust, that asset may still need probate. We can review the trust funding and tell you in the first meeting.
What if there's no will?
Texas handles this through intestate succession. Depending on the estate, we may file a determination of heirship, an affidavit of heirship, or a dependent administration. We handle each of these routinely and can often combine heirship and administration into one case.
Can I probate a will I found years later?
Generally you must probate a Texas will within four years of the decedent's death, but there are meaningful exceptions — including probate as muniment of title beyond four years if you weren't in default. We've handled late-filed wills successfully and can evaluate whether your situation fits an exception.
