Understanding Probate

Probate is a legal process that estates undergo when there are no drafted wills or trusts dictating how a deceased individual’s property or assets will be managed. The process can be lengthy and may require numerous court documents, legal administrators, and the sale of property to pay off debts. The Law Office of Denise Norman helps clients with uncontested probate, where heirs of the estate come to agreement on how assets will be divided. We do not currently take cases of contested probate, where heirs fight for changes to asset division.

Probate generally follows a timeline, which can include:

• The notification of family members and next-of-kin about property and assets that will enter into probate
• The naming of an administrator to the estate, which can be court-assigned if there was no legally drafted will
• An inventory of the property and assets
• The distribution of any remaining property to rightful heirs

While probate can be a headache, there is a way to potentially avoid – or at least expedite – the process. By working with an uncontested probate attorney in Conroe, TX, you can draft legally sound wills and trusts that can help avoid probate by naming heirs, drafting information on how debts will be handled, and streamlining financial and medical directives.
