Plain-English answers from a local estate & probate attorney and a broker. Bring your phone and we'll set up the County Clerk's free property alert together.

General education only, not legal or tax advice.

Is this for me?

  • You inherited a house, or think you will soon, and you're not sure what comes first.
  • You're planning for a parent who still lives in the family home.
  • You've owned your home a long time in Timbergrove, Lazybrook, Oak Forest, Garden Oaks, Spring Branch, or Shepherd Park.
  • You own a paid-off or empty house. Those are the ones deed scammers like.
  • You're the sibling who got handed the job. Bring the others.

What you'll learn

  • Probate and estate basics in Texas, in plain English
  • The documents families wish they'd had: wills, deeds, powers of attorney
  • Harris County deed fraud: red flags, plus setting up the County Clerk's free Property Alert System on your phone
  • Taking care of the house while the paperwork plays out
  • Keep, rent, or sell: the trade-offs, and which repairs matter from a builder's eye
  • What to bring to your own attorney and CPA, with a one-page checklist to take home
