Probate

Texas law provides for what is commonly called "Independent Administration" in probate matters, so long as the Will was drawn up correctly.  This is good news for anyone faced with the necessity of probating an estate.  In short, it can mean one trip and one trip only to the courthouse, with the rest of the matters being taken care of you your attorney and you by mail and phone.
