San Antonio Intestate Probate Attorneys

Dying without a will in Texas creates significant challenges for families who must navigate the complex intestate succession laws while grieving their loss. When someone passes away without a valid will in San Antonio, Texas law determines who inherits their property through a process called intestate succession, which can be more complicated and time-consuming than probate with a will.

Our experienced San Antonio probate attorneys guide families through this difficult process, helping to establish heirship and ensuring that property passes according to Texas law. The intestate process requires additional court proceedings, including a determination of heirship that often involves witness testimony and additional legal steps not required when a will exists.

Bexar County’s probate courts have specific procedures for handling intestate cases, and our deep familiarity with local requirements helps your case proceed as efficiently as possible. We work to protect your family’s interests while navigating the complexities of the San Antonio probate system.
