Are you a law firm?

No. Executors Resource is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. We handle the administrative work of estate administration and engage an independent appearance attorney for document review and court hearings when required.

Do you only work in Texas?

Yes. We focus exclusively on Texas estates, which lets us tailor our process to Texas probate courts and procedures.

What is the difference between testate and intestate?

Testate means the person died with a valid will. Intestate means there was no valid will, in which case Texas law determines who inherits. We handle both.

What if the estate does not need full probate?

Texas offers simpler options like a muniment of title, an affidavit of heirship, or a small estate affidavit. During your consultation we will help determine whether one of these fits the estate.

Can you handle the estate’s taxes?

For full administrations, we can coordinate the final income tax return and other closing steps if the estate needs it.

How do I keep track of everything?

Through your secure online portal, where you can see your case status, complete tasks, upload documents, and message your dedicated case manager.

How much does it cost?

We work on flat, transparent pricing rather than hourly billing, so you know the cost up front. The exact amount depends on the type of administration and the complexity of the estate. Visit our pricing page for an overview, or reach out for a quote tailored to your situation.

How long does Texas probate take?

It varies. A straightforward independent administration often moves through the court in a few months, while estates with disputes, missing heirs, or complex assets take longer. Alternatives like a muniment of title or small estate affidavit are usually faster. We give you a realistic timeline once we understand your estate.

Who is the attorney that appears in court?

We engage an independent, licensed Texas attorney to review the documents we prepare and attend any required court hearing. They are not our employee — they provide the licensed legal piece, while we handle the administrative work that makes up the bulk of the process.

What do I actually have to do?

As little as possible. You provide the key information and documents we request through your secure portal and sign where required. We prepare the filings, track the deadlines, coordinate the attorney and hearing, and keep you updated at every step.

Do you help with more than the court filing?

Yes — this is a big part of what we do. We can prepare estate accountings and coordinate final tax returns, help locate and claim life insurance and retirement accounts, and even arrange a property clean-out and estate sale. Settling an estate is far more than the legal step.

How do we get started?

Reach out for a free, no-obligation consultation. We’ll learn about the estate, explain your options in plain language, and recommend the right path — whether that’s a full administration or a simpler alternative.
