Understanding Wills and Their Importance
A well-drafted will is the cornerstone of any solid estate plan. It allows you to outline how your assets should be distributed after your passing, designate guardians for minor children, and appoint an executor to oversee the administration of your estate. Without a valid will in place, the distribution of your assets will be determined by Texas intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. Our attorneys take the time to understand your specific needs, helping you create a comprehensive will that provides peace of mind for you and your loved ones.
Drafting a will involves more than simply listing your beneficiaries. It requires careful consideration of your assets, debts, and the unique circumstances of your family. Whether you have a straightforward estate or a more complex situation involving business interests or blended families, our team is prepared to address these challenges with tailored solutions.
The Probate Process
Probate can be a challenging and emotionally taxing process for families dealing with the loss of a loved one. This legal procedure ensures that a deceased person’s debts are settled and their assets are distributed according to their will.
For estates without a valid will, the probate court follows Texas intestacy laws to determine asset distribution. At Davis, Ermis & Roberts, P.C., we provide compassionate and efficient guidance to families navigating probate proceedings.

If disputes arise among beneficiaries or creditors, we work diligently to resolve conflicts while protecting the interests of the estate.
