PROBATE

Efron & Efron can handle all matters that go before probate court. Whether you are involved in a probated estate or you want to draft a Directive to Physicians, our team of experienced attorneys can help you accomplish your goals.

Independent Administration

Probate court offers two types of estate administration: supervised administration and independent administration. While supervised administration requires all activity to be supervised by the probate court, independent administration allows you to handle your responsibilities as estate administrator without supervision from the court.

If you have been named as the executor of an estate that qualifies for independent administration, we can help you through the process.

Guardianships

A guardianship is typically established when someone is unable to manage their own personal and financial affairs, either because of age or disability. We can help you establish and manage guardianships as permitted by Texas law. We can also help you deal with any disputes that may arise.

Affidavits of Heirship

When someone dies without leaving a will behind, heirs can sometimes use affidavits of heirship to establish their right to the deceased person’s property. Our firm can help you determine whether an affidavit of heirship is appropriate, and we can help you obtain this document successfully. Learn more about affidavits of heirship here.
