Texas Estate Planning & Probate Services
We offer a full range of estate planning and probate services for our clients and their families. Whether your goal is to avoid probate with a properly funded trust or to navigate the probate process, we provide experienced legal representation to meet your needs.
We offer a broad range of services in the area of estate law, including:
- Wills
- Probate
- Affidavit of heirship
- Muniment of title
- Transfer of property deeds

During the probate process, the court requires that an attorney appear in court on behalf of the estate. Our El Paso estate lawyer has extensive knowledge of the statutes, rules, and procedures that must be followed in this type of administration. The length of time required to complete probate depends on the size and complexity of the estate, as well as the probate court’s schedule. We have handled cases of all sizes and levels of complexity, including representing the estate and beneficiaries in disputes.
Creating a Plan for Your Estate
Many people are under the mistaken impression that estate planning is for the rich. Even if you don’t have valuable property or expensive possessions to pass on, it is still important for your loved ones to know your wishes. A lack of an estate plan may impact your family, and your property and possessions may not be passed to your intended beneficiaries.
The benefits of having an estate plan include:
- Ensuring that your property goes to your intended beneficiaries
- Keeping certain assets in the family
- Providing for the care and well-being of minor children
- Naming a personal representative for your estate
- Avoiding the expensive and time-consuming probate process
- Reducing your family’s tax burden
Avoiding the probate process and reducing the amount of taxes that must be paid are two of the most common estate planning goals. We can evaluate your situation and explain possible options, such as creating a trust, owning property jointly, and providing for the distribution of assets with a beneficiary or transfer on death designation.
