Man in his early 70s needs assistance with probating his step-mother's will. This is pending probate deadline where the application to probate his step-mother's will needs to be filed in mid-August, which is 4 years after her death. Client did not delay in attempting to probate his step-mother's will. Client previously hired an attorney, and he and his spouse had to save and borrow money from friends and family over several years to pay the retainer fees. Client simply ran out of money, and the attorney did not file the application to probate the will. Client's father was the primary beneficiary of the will, who passed prior to decedent. Client is the executor of the will, and he is one of four alternate beneficiaries of the will. He is also residing in the home, which is the only property of the estate. Client would like to remain in the home, and he is in discussions with the other heirs in hopes of achieving of that goal. He lived with his stepmother after his father's death, and served as her primary caregiver, honoring his father's wishes to keep her in her home for her final days. There is no medicaid claim, and there are no debts of the estates. There is otherwise no need for an administration of the estate. Based on the available facts, Lone Star Legal Aid believes that it is very likely that the will may be admitted as a Muniment of Title. While this case is marked as Hybrid, there is a strong likelihood that the probate court in Harris Court will allow this case to be heard via Zoom and this case can be handled remotely.
