Kerr County Probate Attorney
Kerr County Probate Attorney: How We Can Help You
The aftermath of a death in the family can be something that many are unprepared to deal with, but an experienced Kerr County probate attorney can help. Assets will need to be sorted out and a Will may be in place that needs to be adhered to. The process by which a person’s assets and debts are administered is called probate, and having a knowledgeable attorney to guide you through the process is vital.
If there is no Will, a probate judge will determine how a person’s assets are split. A Kerr County probate attorney can oversee all court hearings and make sure that paperwork is filed on time. This is a process that can be long and confusing, and having legal counsel can help alleviate the burden of dealing with these issues while grieving a loved one.
Specific Services A Probate Lawyer Can Provide
Sometimes a death is unexpected and there are no instructions about assets. A probate attorney can help get the assets divided in a fair manner and legal manner. There is often a great deal of paperwork involved that an experienced Kerr County probate attorney will know how to complete for the family.
A Kerr County probate attorney also will accompany you to all court hearings. This attorney will not only speak on your behalf, but also answer any questions about the proceedings. A Texas probate attorney will know how to gather the necessary information to provide the court with proof of death as required by law. If there are assets involved, these assets will need to be cataloged and appraised. This is something that many probate attorneys handle for a family also. If the deceased person has any creditors, they will need to be notified of the death by your attorney.

- Estate planning
- Handling estate taxes
