“Helpful and Trustworthy Attorney”
I was really sad that I even had to hire an attorney to deal with parts of my family when my dad died but he really helped me get through the process and was SO knowledgeable on everything that was going on.
They were caring and kind all the way through the process. I highly recommend them to anyone entitled to claim leftover funds from foreclosure or who need to probate an estate for a loved one. Here is a picture of myself and my lovely sister, Karen!
He told me the amount I would receive at the beginning of the process. He also told me that I would never have to step inside of a court room, which I didn’t want to due to the complex challenges of probate court. Ryan and his team worked very hard for me.
Keith and his team were fantastic. We had heard horror stories of the probate process but our experience was fast and flawless with Keith. The loss of our loved one was very unexpected and the estate was complicated. Considering the circumstances I can honestly say it couldn’t have gone any better. I have already recommended Keith to others and will continue to.
If you have recently lost a loved one, you likely have many questions about what steps to take. A Bell County probate attorney can help guide you through the Texas probate process. What exactly is probate? Probate is a process by which you will legally administer the property, otherwise called the estate, of a deceased person. Probate is also the process by which the executor of the Last Will and Testament will be named to oversee the distribution of property. If the person died intestate, which means without a Will, a probate court will oversee the distribution of property because there was no direction from the deceased.
Probate Courts also oversee the appointment of a guardian. There are instances that arise in which a person is unable to make decisions for themselves. When that happens, someone must be appointed to be able to legally make these decisions for the incapable person. Be it personal decisions, medical decisions, or financial decisions, a probate court will oversee those steps as well. A Bell County probate attorney can help navigate these legal issues.
