Austin Probate Lawyer

Probate is the process by which a deceased person's will is proven in court to be his or her true last testament. Disputes over inheritance and claims to property can require litigation in a probate court before anything can be distributed. A probate lawyer can help initiate this process of administering a loved one's estate and dividing up property for his or her family.
