Dallas Probate, Wills, and Guardianships Attorney

The Duran Firm is a Dallas probate, wills, and guardianship law firm with extensive experience in the areas of the probate of wills and copies of wills, probate without a will, and the administration of decedents estates.

At the Duran Firm, we believe that if a decedent incurred the expense of having an attorney professionally prepare his or her Last Will and Testament, then the probate of his or her estate should be relatively inexpensive. That is why the Duran Firm offers fixed-fee probate in uncontested cases where the Will and estate meet certain requirements. The overwhelming majority of our probate cases are for a fixed fee, particularly in cases where the Will was drafted by an attorney.

If the decedent did not leave a Will, all is not lost. If all of the natural heirs of the estate are in agreement as to the administration and division of the decedent's estate, the Duran Firm can still assist those heirs for a fixed fee if the case meets certain requirements.

The Duran Firm can also assist you with the preparation of your Last Will and Testament as well as any ancillary estate planning documents such as a power of attorney or living will. You've worked hard to achieve all that you have. Call the Duran Firm today and let us help you make a plan that both preserves your estate for the people you care about while minimizing the burden on your family.

The Duran Firm also has experience in guardianship administration and can help you to obtain a guardianship over your incapacitated adult loved one (due to dementia or mental retardation). For parents of sons and daughters with special needs who are approaching adulthood, the Duran Firm offers Guardianships for a fixed-fee.
