In the event you or a loved one dies, it is important you have a detailed written will which allocates to whom and where your assets are left. Sometimes, a person may not leave a will explicitly outlining what is to be done with their assets, both tangible and intangible. When confusion regarding a will arises, the
probate process is imperative in settling an estate. In short, it is important that you understand your rights and responsibilities when it comes to preparing or probating a will.

Texas and
New Mexico, the process called probate is when you have a will fully authenticated and proven by a court's jurisdiction. We hope it never occurs, but sometimes issues can arise when a will is not left or is misconstrued by the family. In order to avoid family disputes, the probate
attorneys at The Sloan Firm are here to walk you through this legal process.
