Probate is the legal process of transferring a deceased person’s assets to their rightful heirs.

With a deep understanding of Texas probate laws, we assist with:

  • Filing probate petitions and court documents
  • Executor and administrator guidance
  • Identifying and valuing estate assets
  • Notifying creditors and handling estate debts
  • Distributing assets to heirs and beneficiaries
  • Resolving any legal concerns that may arise

How Long Does Probate Take in New Braunfels?

Probate Attorney New braunfels, texas

The timeline for probate in Texas depends on several factors, including estate complexity and whether a valid will is in place. In most uncontested cases, the process takes approximately 6–9 months from start to finish. This includes:

  • Court filings and executor appointment
  • Creditor notification and debt resolution
  • Asset inventory and tax filings
  • Final distribution to heirs

While some cases may move faster, having an experienced New Braunfels probate lawyer ensures that all steps are completed properly, reducing the risk of unnecessary delays.

What Assets Must Go Through Probate?

Not all assets require probate. However, the following typically must go through the process:

  • Individually Owned Property – Real estate and personal assets not jointly owned or designated to a beneficiary.
  • Bank Accounts – Accounts without a payable-on-death (POD) or transfer-on-death (TOD) designation.
  • Personal Property – Jewelry, furniture, vehicles, and collectibles that were solely owned by the decedent.
  • Business Interests – Business shares or ownership stakes not governed by a trust or transfer agreement.

If you’re unsure whether an asset requires probate, we can help determine the best legal path for handling the estate efficiently.

Comprehensive Probate & Estate Services

The ultimate goal of probate is to facilitate the transfer of the deceased person’s assets from their name to the rightful beneficiaries or heirs designated by law or the deceased’s will. This legal process ensures that property titles are appropriately updated, confirming ownership by those entitled to inherit under applicable laws or testamentary provisions.
