Wills and Probate

At the Law Office of Robert Ray, we provide services such as:

• Preparation of Wills
• Probate and Estate Administration
• Will Contest and Estate Disputes

Preparation of Wills - A will is a person's declaration of how one wants their property dispersed after death. Because each state has complex regulations regarding the validity of any will, it is important to hire an attorney with knowledge and experience.

Probate & Estate Administration - Probate is the legal process by which a person’s debts are paid and assets are distributed upon her or his death. Estate Administration includes the probate process as well as non-probate transfers of the deceased’s assets. Individual state laws direct the probate court how to distribute the deceased’s estate. State laws and procedures vary greatly, so, it is important to consult a firm with experience with Texas probate law to ensure that the deceased’s assets are distributed correctly.

Will Contest and Estate Disputes - People will attempt to probate an out of date will or one that the person making the will was forced to make or was made when the person did not have the mental capacity to know what they were doing.  Sometimes, the correct will is probated but someone is hiding or disposing of assets that belong to another or refuses to turn over assets to their rightful owner.  These disputes need immediate attention.  If there is a delay, assets could be lost forever.  It is important to consult a firm with experience with Texas probate law as soon as possible.
