In 2011, the Texas Young Lawyers Association created the “Texas Probate Passport,” a new project which is essentially a pamphlet outlining the estate planning rights that Texans have. This new informational brochure is available electronically in PDF format, and you can access it here: http://www.tyla.org/tyla/assets/File/TYLA_Texas%20Probate%20Passport.pdf.
The passport is a valuable legal tool that provides Texans with a rather detailed summary of what happens to their personal possessions and real property when they die with or without a will, or when they die testate or intestate. The guide also explains how the probate procedures work in Texas. Although the Texas Young Lawyers Association did not intend to create the handbook to replace the advice of an attorney, they did intend for it to supplement an attorney’s professional advice. The Texas Probate Passport contains easily accessible “tabs” organized by estate planning topics. If you need some preliminary guidance or an understanding of how the probate process works in Texas, you may want to review this guide before scheduling an initial consultation with our office. The guide contains a useful “Probate Preparation Checklist” of items that you should bring with you to your first scheduled consultation. The guide provides easy-to-understand information regarding the Texas Probate Code.
