Probate and Estate Administration

Losing a loved one can be one of the most difficult experiences of your life. The last thing you want to deal while grieving is the logistical nightmare that is getting an estate through probate. Let the Law Office of Rhiannon K. Jajoo ease this burden.

Probate is the court supervised process for the final disposition of a person's possessions. The probating of a will in the State of Texas can be a lengthy and expensive process. A decedent's estate is inventoried, outstanding debts are paid, and beneficiaries of the estate are verified. Then the net assets from the estate are distributed. The time and expense of probate can be significantly decreased through estate planning.

The process is even more arduous for people who pass away "intestate," meaning without a will. In those cases, the probate court will appoint someone to decide how to distribute the cash, assets, and other property of the estate. Even those with a will come under probate court jurisdiction and have their inventory and distribution of possessions overseen by the probate court.

Losing a loved one is difficult enough without having to then navigate through an unfamiliar court system. Having an attorney who is familiar with the courts and the process can ease this burden, allowing you to focus on healing from your loss
