- Q. How to sell property with title issues as sole beneficiary in TX?
- A: As a Collin County Probate Attorney, I can say that Collin County Probate Court is often thought of as one of the fastest and easiest probate courts in the entire State of Texas. So, that's really good news!

- Q. Am I liable for nursing home charges for my deceased mom in Texas?
- A: If you didn't sign anything agreeing to become personally liable, then only your mother's Estate is liable. You don't have to talk with them. If you end up doing a probate of your mother's Estate, then your probate attorney can advise you on how to correctly deal with creditor claims against your mother's Estate. I can't speak for all probate law offices, but I can say that we help our clients with dealing with creditor claims.
- Q. Can I get legal aid for muniment of title filing in Texas?
- A: You can definitely apply for Legal Aid. In our area, that would be Legal Aid of Northwest Texas. If you don't qualify there, reach out to attorneys in your area who focus on probate in Dallas County. The focused attorneys may cost less than a general practice law firm. In fact, many attorneys require a fairly small initial retainer deposit. The balance may not be due until after the case is completed or even until after the house sells (if you're wanting to sell the house).
