Corpus Christi Probate and Estate Administration Lawyer

Christopher E. Matt, Attorney at Law

After the death of a loved one, the assistance of an experienced, knowledgeable attorney is necessary for administering the estate in a timely and efficient manner. With so many legal procedures and requirements along the way, it is essential that you understand your duties and obligations as a personal representative in order to carry them out properly.

From my law office in Corpus Christi, I have been representing clients throughout Nueces County and the Coastal Bend in the administration of probate cases since 1977. I will provide attentive personal service as I assist you in settling your loved one's estate and honoring their final wishes.

Clear, Reliable Counsel When You Need It Most

I represent surviving spouses, children, and/or other family members in their capacity as executor or administrator of an estate. I draw upon decades of experience to help you navigate this often-complex process.  I handle both independent administrations (where there is a will) and dependent administrations (where there is a no will).

Probate is the legal process by which an estate is settled, and a will has no effect unless it is admitted to probate. The process includes having the will admitted to probate and the subsequent procedures for transferring title and assets to beneficiaries of the estate.

I will work closely with you to navigate the necessary steps, including:

• Securing copies of necessary documents
• Locating and gathering assets
• Preparing inventory of assets
• Identifying and/or locating heirs
• Meeting creditor notice requirements
• Paying valid debts of the estate
• Distributing assets to beneficiaries and/or heirs
• Transferring title to real estate
• Filing any final accounting required by the probate court

Without an experienced probate lawyer at your side, you may not know how to meet important notice and other legal requirements. I will help ensure that you understand and fulfill your duties correctly. My goal is to help you settle your loved one's estate in a timely manner.
