Texas Estate Planning and Probate Administration Attorney

After a person passes away there are many complicated but imperative steps to ensure the proper distribution of his or her estate. At the Law Office of Mary Ann Harris in Houston, Texas, I represent individuals and families with estate planning and probate administration matters. Contact me today to discuss your simple will, estate plan, or probate administration questions.

There is a difference between estate planning and estate administration. Estate planning is the planning of your future through the use of various legal documents and powers of attorney to accomplish your goals. As a non-complex estate planner, I write wills and ancillary documents (powers of attorney, etc.) for clients having non-complex estates. Probate and estate administration is the process of locating a decedent’s assets, and distributing these assets according to the will or in a manner closest to what the deceased would have wanted. Estate and probate administration is a complex area of the law that requires an experienced lawyer who knows the consequences and complications involved.

Avoid Probate Administration and High Estate Taxes
Spending twenty years working in the business world, I am familiar with the tax laws and how they affect the property and estate of a deceased person.  I can guide you through the complex probate administration process and ensure that your loved one’s assets are distributed as they would have wanted if they provided a will, within the scope of the laws of Texas. I can also assist you in avoiding complex probate and the fees associated with intestate probate administration by having a will dictate your desires.

I understand that going through probate can be a delicate situation, since you are dealing with a loved one’s passing as well as issues of property and financial resources. Because I understand and care about your situation, I will guide you through it, step for step to successful resolution. At my law firm, you always work directly with me and not a paralegal or legal aid. You are treated as the person you are and never as a case number.

Additionally, I am certified in guardianship by the probate courts.

My law firm provides competitive rates and a flexible schedule. Night and weekend appointments are available. I have a diverse client base and access to translators when needed.
Contact my law firm for skilled legal guidance and representation through the estate and probate administration processes.
