Does This Sound Familiar?

The bank or brokerage told you the account is frozen until you get through probate.
A realtor (or a buyer) is waiting on a house you can't sell yet.
A letter showed up in the mail — Social Security, Fidelity, an insurance company — and you don't know what to do with it.
You just found out the power of attorney stopped working the moment they passed.
You've never been an executor before and you don't know what needs to happen first.
You're still in the fog of losing them, and now you're supposed to think clearly about legal documents.
You're managing this from out of state and can't keep flying back to Texas.
The attorney you already hired isn't returning your calls.

If any of that sounds like you, you're in the right place.

What Probate Looks Like in Texas

Unfortunately, having a will doesn't mean your family avoids probate. Probate

can drag on for months or even years, tying up your assets and leaving your loved ones stuck in a legal mess.

In the video below video, you'll learn what probate really is, how long it usually takes in Texas, and simple ways you can avoid it so your family can get what they need faster and with less stress.

Probate is the court process that moves property from the person who passed away to the people who inherit it.

In Texas, that means proving the will is valid, taking inventory of what's there, paying any final debts, and getting the legal authority (sometimes called Letters Testamentary) that lets you talk to the bank, sell the house, and close out accounts.

Now, I'll be the first to tell you — in Texas, probate isn't as bad as it is in some other places. But it still needs to be done right.

Most uncontested probate in Texas runs four to six months from filing to close.

We'll show you the typical timeline at the first meeting so you know exactly where you are at every step. No surprises. No "we'll get back to you."

You didn't ask for this job. We'll help you finish it — and we'll explain it as we go so you actually understand what's happening this time.

Why Miller Law Office

Most probate firms handle one estate as part of a hundred other matter types. We don't. Probate, estate planning, and elder law are what we do.

We do this for Texas families all day, every day.

We've been voted Best Law Firm in Plano four years running, but the thing clients tell us actually matters is simpler than that:

We answer the phone.

We respond within one business day.

We quote a flat fee upfront for uncontested probate so you're not watching the meter run while you grieve.

And we never make you feel small for asking what something means.

You're not supposed to know this. That's our job.

Handling Texas Probate from Out of State

If you live outside Texas and you're now responsible for a parent's estate in Plano — we run a remote-first process.

Most of what we do happens by email, phone, and DocuSign. Court hearings in Texas can typically be done by video when the judge permits.

You'll need to be in Texas for the original signing of one or two documents — that's it. One trip, maximum. We'll plan it around your schedule and get as much done in that visit as possible.
