Probate

Probate Lawyer in San Antonio

What is Probate?

Probate is a legal process that occurs after someone passes away. It involves the validation of their will (if they have one) and the distribution of their assets to heirs or beneficiaries. During probate, the court oversees the payment of debts, taxes, and the transfer of property to ensure that the deceased person’s wishes are carried out according to the law. If there is no will, the court will determine how the assets are distributed based on state laws. Probate can be costly, and can be avoided with proper estate planning.
