Preserving Your Legacy and Energy Assets
Proper estate planning ensures your hard-earned real estate, mineral interests, and personal assets transfer smoothly to the next generation without unnecessary litigation or tax burdens.

- Intestacy (No Will): Resolving heirship and title issues when a loved one passes without a valid will.
Streamlining Out-of-State Estates with Texas Property or Mineral Rights
Inheriting or managing real estate and mineral interests across state lines can lead to legal bottlenecks. If a decedent passed away out-of-state while owning land or oil and gas rights in Texas or New Mexico, simplified ancillary probate procedures are often required to clear title.
- Ancillary Probate Administration: Transferring Texas mineral and property rights using foreign court proceedings.
- Original Probate Matters: Filing primary probate applications for estates without an original out-of-state proceeding.
- Purchaser & Operator Notification: Informing oil and gas producers, purchasers, and taxing entities of ownership changes to resume suspended royalty distribution.
