The application to probate had been filed by other attorneys more than 25 years earlier. No further action had been taken to pursue the opening of the estate. The named appointed Independent Executor was physically and mentally unable to serve or to waive the right to serve. With our firm’s representation of the heir seeking to open the estate, the probate court appointed as executor of the estate the first alternate named in the Will. We guided our client and the independent executor through the administration of the estate to identify, locate, and notify heirs named in the Will as well as heirs of a beneficiary who had died after the decedent. Although this was an unusual probate in many respects, we successfully assisted our client in completing the probate so that land owned by the decedent could pass under the terms of the Will to our client and other heirs entitled to obtain their inheritance. ### Trust Fund Access for Sole Surviving Heirs Estate Planning and Probate Reviewed and advised on family trust documents and coordinated with bank on necessary documentation to have trust bank account funds held for beneficiaries released to sole surviving heirs.

Successfully negotiated contract and exceptions to title in the purchase. ### Farm and Ranch Sale Real Estate Represented seller of large farm and ranch tract for $3,500,000.00 including negotiating carve out parcel for water development. ### Resolution of Complex Intestate Estates Estate Planning and Probate Represented Independent Administrator of an intestate estate that had been in the probate process for 10 years. Probate was complex in that two spouses died in a motorcycle accident simultaneously leaving a minor child and neither had wills. Administrators were appointed for both estates, but the two sides of the family became contentious and the probate dragged out for nearly a decade. We were able to assist the Independent Administrator in winding up the estate in cooperation with opposing counsel and help bring the estate to a peaceable end, despite high tensions. ### Letters Testamentary for Mother’s Estate Estate Planning and Probate Assisted with the filing application for letters testamentary for mother’s estate located in Harris County, Texas. ### Securing Inheritance from a Non-Self-Proved Will Estate Planning and Probate Successfully secured probate of a Will that was not self-proved under Texas law by obtaining deposition testimony from the Will’s witnesses, ensuring the client’s inheritance [Read Other Success Stories](https://thlg.law/case-studies) ## Meet Your South Central Texas Real Estate Attorneys - [Christopher H.

The recording of the deed is crucial as it ensures that the public records reflect the change in ownership and protects the rights of the new owner. It's important to ensure that the deed complies with Texas state laws to avoid any future legal issues. For expert guidance on navigating property transfers in Texas, consult one of our knowledgeable real estate attorneys at Texas Horizons Law Group pllc. **What is the role of title insurance in Texas real estate transactions?** Title insurance in Texas acts as a critical safeguard against potential losses or legal fees that could arise from title issues that arose before you bought your property. When purchasing real estate, buyers should obtain title insurance to protect against ownership claims from other parties, title defects, and liens. Prior to the issuance of your title policy, you will receive a title commitment which will contain exceptions to coverage, such as recorded restrictions and easements that affect the property. Thorough review of the title commitment is an essential step in buying property in Texas. For assistance reviewing your title commitment, please consult with our real estate attorneys at Texas Horizons Law Group pllc. **Why is a property survey important in Texas?** A property survey is essential in Texas as it precisely identifies your property's boundaries and dimensions. It can uncover discrepancies with neighboring properties, show easements, rights of way, or other encumbrances, and is often required by lenders before finalizing a loan transaction. Surveys are crucial for identifying potential land usage disputes and ensuring optimal coverage under your title insurance. To fully understand a property survey and receive personalized legal advice, contact our legal team at Texas Horizons Law Group pllc. **How do mechanic's liens work in Texas?** In Texas, mechanic's liens provide a legal mechanism for contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers to secure payment for their services. If a property owner or contractor fails to pay, these parties can file a lien against the property. This lien must be filed by a certain time limit after the work is completed and, if not addressed, can hinder the property's sale or refinancing until the dispute is resolved. Mechanic's liens are vital for ensuring that service providers can enforce their right to payment. For assistance with filing or defending against mechanic's liens, please consult our experienced attorneys at Texas Horizons Law Group pllc. **What happens if a real estate contract is breached in Texas?** Breaching a real estate contract in Texas can result in significant repercussions. The affected party may seek legal remedies, which can include the recovery of damages or a court order to enforce the specific performance of the contract. A buyer’s earnest money can be forfeited. Depending on the nature of the breach, negotiations or mediation might be recommended to resolve the issue amicably. For advice on the consequences of a contract breach, contact Texas Horizons Law Group pllc for professional legal assistance. **What do I need to disclose when selling a home in Texas?** In Texas, selling a home requires completing a seller’s disclosure notice that outlines the property's condition and any known defects that might affect its value or desirability. This includes issues like prior flood damage or foundation problems. Honest disclosure is crucial for protecting both the buyer and seller and helps to prevent future legal claims. For advice on disclosure requirements and personalized legal guidance, reach out to our real estate attorneys at Texas Horizons Law Group pllc. **How do I handle mineral rights leasing in Texas?** Navigating mineral rights leasing in Texas involves careful negotiation of lease terms and understanding the legal implications of oil, gas, or mineral extraction. Property owners must be aware of their rights and the potential impacts on their land to ensure a well-negotiated lease that protects their interests. For professional assistance with mineral rights leasing, contact our experienced attorneys at Texas Horizons Law Group pllc. --- Texas Horizons Law Group pllc | Seguin — [https://thlg.law/real-estate-attorneys-junction-tx](https://thlg.law/real-estate-attorneys-junction-tx)
