San Antonio Probate Attorney

While it is true that probate can be time-consuming and expensive, it is equally true that many estates can be probated quickly and with little expense. After the death of a loved one, thinking about a legal requirement like probate can be overwhelming, but a skilled lawyer can help you make sense of the process and handle any issues that may arise.

At the Law Office of Susan Simmons, PLLC, I am committed to helping clients navigate the probate process as smoothly and efficiently as possible. As a San Antonio probate lawyer, I am dedicated to helping executors and administrators fulfill their duties and wrap up the process quickly and with minimal problems.

To discuss your specific needs with a dedicated, skilled South Texas probate lawyer, call 210-867-7141 or contact my San Antonio law office online. Your initial consultation is always free. Prior to beginning work on your legal matter I will quote the fee for my legal services, and I will give you an estimate of the expenses for which you will be liable.

Handling All Aspects of Probate in Texas

Texas has a probate system that is different from any other state. I understand the unique features of Texas probate, and I use that knowledge to minimize the time and expense of the process for my clients. My goal is to handle the legal burden so you can focus on getting through this difficult time.

To make probate as efficient and smooth as possible, I make all necessary appearances in probate court and handle all necessary court documents, including:

• Applying to probate the will and obtaining Letters Testamentary
• Proof of death
• Oath of executor
• Notice to creditors
• Inventory and appraisement of the estate
• Any necessary waivers/notices to beneficiaries

In addition to hearings and documentation, I help executors and estate administrators with a variety of duties, such as:

• Paying the debts of the estate
• Transferring property to beneficiaries named in a will or trust

• Clearing title to inheritances coming by way of intestacy (where a person died without a will)
