What Happens When Someone Dies Without a Will?
When someone dies intestate (without a will), their estate must still go through the probate process under Texas law. At Daniel Albert Law Firm, we help surviving family members navigate the court-supervised distribution of assets when no will is present.
Texas Intestate Succession
Without a will, the court uses a default formula to determine:
- Who inherits (spouse, children, parents, etc.)
- What percentage each heir receives
- How to resolve disputes over property or claims
Probating without a will can be more complicated—but our team ensures the process remains orderly and lawful.
