Once a friend or relative has died in the state of Texas, their estate must generally go through the probate process in order for the estate to be properly administered. The probate administration of an estate involves identifying the estate assets, paying any taxes that may be owed as a result of the death, pursuing any claims against third parties that are owed to the estate, paying any debts owed by the deceased at the time of death, and distributing the remaining assets to the heirs or beneficiaries under a Will. Likewise, the administration of the Estate also involves identifying the heirs if he or she died without a living Will.
As a result of the process of administering an estate becoming very complex in recent years, clients needing assistance in administering the estate of a friend or loved one are urged to seek out the advice of an attorney whose law office is devoted to this area.
