Guiding executors through every step of the process

Most executors have never probated a will; many are surprised to learn the decedent’s will named them as the responsible party. Kacey will provide indispensable service for executors who have no prior experience in the probate court on matters that include:

• Filing the will with the proper Texas probate court
• Developing the best strategy for fairly and expeditiously settling the estate
• Finding and assembling assets
• Pay creditors and claimants
• Collecting amounts owed the estate
• Closing and opening bank accounts
• Transferring assets from the deceased to the estate
• Paying current and delinquent taxes as well as estate taxes
• Valuing, managing, preserving and liquidating the estate
• Locating beneficiaries
• Hiring experts, when appropriate

Executors can easily make mistakes due to inexperience, stress and hasty decisions. This can be costly, as executors can be held personally liable for beneficiaries’ losses. Kacey guides executors through every step of the probate process, with reliable, detailed advice, so you can settle the testator’s estate as efficiently, quickly and easily as possible.
