We file the legal documents with the appropriate Texas probate court.
Step 3 - Court Hearing (Oath & Appointment)
A judge formally appoints an Executor (if there is a will) or Administrator (if no will exists).
Step 4 - Notices & Letters Testamentary / Administration
This grants legal authority to manage the estate.

We help gather financial information, locate property, and resolve debts.
Step 6 - Inventory, Accounting & Appraisement
A full list of estate assets is prepared and submitted.
