Houston, Texas – Feb 9, 2021: Mike Massey Law, PLLC, is a legal firm that’s managed by Mike Massey JD, MBA, MPA. The firm has offices in Austin, Houston, and San Antonio, and the eponymous manager has over 19 years of experience in various legal fields. The firm focuses on civil matters pertaining to contract law. Its offered legal services include estate planning, probate, personal injury, and business law.
Estate planning and probate are closely-related processes, with the former chronologically preceding the latter. Estate planning refers to the process of a person determining how they want their estate managed or distributed after they pass. The estate is essentially the sum total of all of the person’s assets and liabilities (everything they own). The testator or testatrix’s wishes are contained in the will.
The probate process refers to the process of legally establishing the validity of a will. Once the will is authenticated, the court bestows the executor with the power to manage the estate.
Both these processes are straightforward – in theory. However, estate planning and probate don’t occur in theory. They occur in practice, and the practice of drafting and authenticating wills is confusing and complex. Notwithstanding the difficulty, an experienced estate planning and probate attorney can streamline the process. This is precisely what Mike Massey Law intends to do.
While discussing the role of an attorney in both processes, a representative from the firm said, “Estate planning and probate are difficult legal domains because they’re intricately tied to other legal statuses and obligations. For instance, marriage and divorce have considerable influence over one’s estate plans. A divorce can leave enough holes in a will to justify scrapping it and drafting a new one. Besides the effects of other living situations, both processes involve extensive paperwork and dealing with courts. An estate planning and probate attorney can guide clients through these processes, thereby avoiding any obstacles during either process.”
Handling estate planning and probate without an attorney is difficult. It’s not impossible to manage it on one’s own, but the risk of making a costly mistake is very high. Those wishing to minimize that risk can contact Mike Massey Law via its website, phone, or one of its offices.
