The Texas Probate System will become the cornerstone of your probate law practice, whether that practice is large or small, new or well established. From the initial contact with a client to the closing of the estate, this System will be in constant use, providing a step-by-step guide to the efficient handling of a decedent’s estate.

This system may be used by and for the development and training of secretaries and other members of the lawyer’s staff to permit them to handle the nonprofessional activities associated with probate. It’s also a valuable tool for training new lawyers, and it has enormous advantages for the busy practitioner. It will materially reduce the time required by the lawyer without significantly increasing the time required by staff in the administration of the usual estate.

The Texas Probate System has been updated to incorporate changes in the law occurring since its 2003 publication, including changes in state law through the 2007 regular session of the Texas legislature. For example, for estates of decedents dying on or after September 1, 2007, notice of probate must be given to all testamentary beneficiaries–not just to charitable and governmental beneficiaries–through a rigidly prescribed procedure. All portions of the System have been updated to provide the necessary information and tools for compliance with this new requirement.

Texas Probate System Forms on Disk (CD-ROM), containing the entire system as a linked PDF file and selected segments as separate Word, WordPerfect, and PDF files, is included with purchase of the printed manual.
