Your estate is comprised of everything you own-your car, home, other real estate, checking and savings accounts, investments, life insurance, furniture, and other personal possessions. No matter how large or how modest, everyone has an estate. With advanced planning, you can control which assets will be disposed of in accordance with your Will and/or Trust and which assets will be disposed of outside of your probate estate.
It can be difficult to know which steps to take after a loved one passes away, and this Firm is here to assist families in determining how to administer your loved one's Estate.
Each client's facts and circumstances will be evaluated to determine which probate procedure in Texas is the best option to pursue: Small Estate Affidavit; Muniment of Title; Heirship Determination without Administration; Independent Administration; or Dependent Administration.Although you are not required to probate, the person possessing the original Will must file the Will with the Court Clerk.

To protect a loved one's personal and financial interests, you may need more than the durable and medical power of attorney. A guardianship of the person and/or estate provides Court authority to act on behalf of a loved one. A Guardianship procedure is a request to declare a loved one incapacitated.
You can include any number of persons or charities to receive your assets in the terms of your Will. Please note that a Will cannot override the terms of a beneficiary designation at a financial institution. Unfortunately, a family member who is disinherited or receives a small share of the estate may also be motivated to challenge your Will.

You know, in life it really helps if you have relationships with highly competent, high quality, caring people. I have a mechanic and a contractor who have been trustworthy and dependable for years. I consider the Tracy Bush Law Office to be in that circle. Tracy and her staff have been so helpful, while at the same time being very caring as my family has fought its way through probates for relatives who died during this COVID scourge. In our case, we had to deal with California and Texas laws. In our consultations with Tracy, she laid out the possibilities and likelihoods. She also crafted a solid

We were referred to Tracy to assist with getting a will probated. It was for a county that she didn’t have experience in, yet that didn’t slow her down at all. She confidently took on our case and educated us on doing a Muniment and a few other familial legal matters. We successfully completed the hearing via zoom and before leaving her office, requested questionnaires for preparing our own wills for us. Thank you for answering our questions with sound experience and confidence, and practicing law in such an ethical manner. Highly recommend working with Tracy and her team!

Having move here from out of state, my husband and I went to get advice on Wills, Living wills, Power of Attorney, etc. We had them done where we used to live but wanted them updated and valid for TX.
We were pleasantly surprised at the amount of time Tracy Bush spent with us and how thoroughly she went over details making sure were understood everything involved.
If you are looking for upscale, luxurious offices, look elsewhere. But if you want a lawyer who is professional, thoughtful, friendly, and provides excellent legal advice at a reasonable rate, this is the place to go.

Tracy Bush and her office staff are knowledgeable, compassionate and responsive. We used Tracy to close out my father's estate. We used a different law office to set up his trust years ago, and the difference was night and day. Tracy was down-to-earth and made me feel that no question that I had was "stupid". Her office communicated with me every step of the way. I highly recommend Tracy Bush.

Tracy Bush and all the staff in her Mansfield office aren’t just amazing people they are like family. They were compassionate, sincere and truly concerned with our families desires and concerns in my parents estate planning as well as Medicaid concerns. If you wish you had someone dependable to help with all the delicate legal matters of aging parents or even for yourself; look no further Tracy Bush and her co-workers stand heads above the rest. Thank you Tracy! You have helped turn something very difficult into something very manageable. We can’t imagine having any one else handle our family
