Check out our video blog on Demystifying the Application to Determine Heirship in Texas. This video focuses on an independent administration.  There are circumstances when an independent administration is not possible in Texas such as when a person dies with children who are under age 18.  This video is for educational purposes only and is not intended to replace the advice of competent legal counsel. Note: Texas law does not allow an individual who is not an attorney to represent themselves or an estate in court.  You must have a qualified attorney for an heirship determination.  We welcome your comments, suggestions, and feedback for this video blog.
