Galveston Estate Planning Attorney
Harris County • Brazoria County • Houston
If you die without a will and you have a house or other significant property, the probate process in Texas is difficult, time-consuming and expensive. However, for those people who have a will, probate in Texas is a simple and user-friendly process.
Aside from minimizing your estate’s contact with the probate court, a will enables you to designate which heirs should inherit your possessions and assets upon your death, and provides for your surviving spouse and/or minor children.
The estate planning attorneys of the Law Offices of Susan M. Edmonson offers a package of estate planning services that provide for your death, as well as illness or injury that may incapacitate you or your spouse during your lifetime. We can provide:
A will establishes heirship and how your assets will be distributed.
A “living will” or health care directive to physicians detailing which medical measures to take on your behalf in case of grave health condition.
A durable power of attorney allowing someone to conduct your personal affairs if you are incapacitated.
A medical power of attorney enabling a loved one to make medical decisions when you are unable to do so.
Trusts and guardianships to designate who will care for your minor children (or vulnerable adults), along with assets to provide for their future well-being in event of your death.
Probate Administration
When there is a will, the Texas probate process can be finalized relatively quickly. As experienced probate attorneys, we assist clients in submitting the estate to probate court and carrying out the executor duties of settling the estate, such as distribution of assets and payment of debts. We also represent clients who have been named executor by the court when there is no will, guiding them through the long and complex process.
If you want to draft a will or an advanced health care directive, or if you have been named executor of a family member’s estate, contact the estate planning and probate attorneys of the Law Offices of Susan M. Edmonson. We offer reasonable rates, and you will always meet with an attorney on your initial visit, not a paralegal or assistant.
Our staff is fluent in Spanish and we accept all major credit cards as payment.
