Simplifying the Probate Process for Executors
By connecting you with a trusted network of top-tier professional service providers, I eliminate the need for you to search, interview, and potentially risk working with less reliable options. Over the years, I’ve carefully built a network of exceptional professionals to support you throughout the probate process. Beyond offering clarity on common probate challenges, I can help you access skilled experts, including:
Probate Attorney
A skilled probate attorney can guide you through the legal process of managing a decedent’s estate. If the individual passed away testate with a valid will the attorney will assist in distributing assets to the rightful beneficiaries and managing estate debts. For those who passed away intestate - without a will- hiring a probate attorney is especially beneficial if the estate includes assets like retirement accounts, bank accounts, or real estate.
CPRES Real Estate Agent
Navigating the probate process is complex, and selling a home can be challenging but combining the two can quickly become overwhelming. That is where a Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist (CPRES) comes in. With specialized training, CPRES agents are uniquely qualified to handle the sale of properties in probate. They have a thorough understanding of the probate process, the steps involved in selling a home during probate, how court confirmation sales work, and the specific rules governing probate real estate transactions in Texas.
Tax Attorneys and Accountants
A Tax Attorney can assist you with estate taxes that may be owed when filing the decedent’s final tax return. In addition, accountants can guide you in managing the distribution of retirement accounts, investments, and other assets. It Is important to note that in some cases, the executor or administrator may be held accountable for unpaid taxes. To avoid this, you must ensure that the estate settles all required local, state, and federal taxes associated with the decedent’s passing.
