Q1: What is probate?
Probate is the legal process after someone dies where a court oversees the distribution of their assets according to their will or state law if no will exists.
Q2: Do I need a lawyer for probate?
While it's possible to handle probate without legal representation, the process can be complex. An attorney can help ensure your rights are protected and the process is completed correctly.
Q3: How long does probate take?
The duration varies based on the estate's complexity. Simple cases might take a few months, while more complex ones can take over a year.
Q4: What if the person who died didn't have a will?
If there's no will, the estate goes through "intestate succession," where Texas law determines how assets are distributed among surviving family members.
Q5: Can I be an executor if I live outside Laredo?
Yes, you can serve as an executor (or administrator) even if you live outside Laredo, but you'll need to work with an attorney in Laredo to handle the local probate court proceedings.
