Probate is a process whereby matters pertaining to a decedent’s estate are "proven" in court and title to assets in the estate passes to the rightful beneficiaries under a decedent’s Will or by the laws of intestacy when a person dies without a Will.

In the event there is no Will, property in Texas generally passes in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution.

Wright Abshire helps our clients navigate through the probate process efficiently, saving time, money, and undue frustration during asset protection.

Wright Abshire routinely represents Trustees, Successor Trustees, and Trust Beneficiaries. We offer a full range of services to all individuals and couples who have inter vivos trusts, testamentary trusts, or are the beneficiary to such a trust.

Wright Abshire will assist Trustees in understanding the complexities of government benefits. If you are a Trustee of a Supplemental Needs Trust or the Trustee of a trust with a disabled or incapacitated beneficiary, Wright Abshire will review the facts of your case and determine what distributions are permissible and what distributions would be detrimental to your beneficiary's government benefits. Additionally, Wright Abshire will assist those of you who are Trustee of a Texas special needs trust that requires you to ensure that the beneficiary has applied for all necessary aid prior to making any distributions from the trust assets.
