Q. How do I file a small estate affidavit in Texas from Ohio?

April 29, 2025

A: It depends on the County. In some counties, you can download pre-fillable PDF forms. Dallas County, for example, offers a fillable PDF. If the County doesn't offer a fillable PDF, you'd do well to schedule a free consultation with a probate attorney in the area in which the deceased resided at the time of death. An attorney focused on probate law will know the best/least expensive options for getting your Small Estate Affidavit approved by the judge.

Q. Help with title issues, life estate, and mineral rights royalty in Texas probate.

April 27, 2025

A: Yes, you'll likely end up wanting an estates lawyer to review your documents and to advise you. However, if it were me, I'd reach out to a landman first. This may help you get even better results, faster, at a lower cost. Then, after a landman weighs in, then you can get an attorney to prepare any documents you might need and/or interface with the oil and gas companies.

Q. How to administer husband's estate with no will in Texas?

April 21, 2025

A: This is actually pretty straightforward, if all three of you are on the same page. You'll want to get a probate attorney to assist you with the probate process called "determination of heirship with independent administration". This will result in the appointment of an independent administrator (one of you), who will have the ability to transfer the assets. This process can take a while, so the sooner you can meet with a probate attorney to get the wheels moving, the better.
