Executing a valid and effective will

Probate attorneys guide executors through every step of the process

- Filing the will with the right Texas probate court
- Finding and assembling assets
- Pay creditors and claimants
- Collecting amounts owed the estate
- Closing and opening bank accounts
- Transferring assets from the deceased to the estate and beneficiaries
- Paying current and delinquent taxes as well as estate taxes
