Frequently Asked Questions
What does an estate planning attorney in Lancaster do?
An estate planning attorney helps you draft legal documents like wills, trusts, and advance directives. They also advise on minimizing estate taxes and avoiding probate. In Texas, they can help you set up a self-proved will to speed up court approval.
Do I need a will in Texas if I have no assets?
Even without significant assets, a will is important in Texas to name guardians for minor children and specify your wishes. Without a will, Texas intestacy laws determine who inherits your property. This may not align with your preferences.
How long does probate take in Lancaster Texas?
Probate in Texas typically takes 4 to 9 months for an uncontested estate. Complex cases or disputes can take longer. An attorney can help you navigate the Dallas County probate court process efficiently.
