Probate


The Ashmore Law Firm, P.C. has provided probate and estate planning services for the people of Dallas for many years. Our family-owned law firm strives to offer outstanding, personalized legal expertise tailored to each client’s needs.

Probate is a legal process that occurs after a death.  The main purpose of the probate process is to prove that the will of the deceased is legal and valid and to safeguard the estate from fraud.

Sometimes, probate is straightforward.  The executor must provide testimony in court that proves the deceased person’s will is both legal and valid. After identifying and inventorying all the property that belonged to the deceased, the executor pays off debts and any taxes owed. The estate is then distributed according to the wishes expressed in the last will and testament of the deceased person.

However, if the will is contested, or if there are different versions of the will, or if there is no will, the probate process can be complicated. When families are dealing with the loss of a loved one, they may find it difficult to handle both their grief and the probate of the estate, especially if there is litigation or a contest involved. This is where the probate lawyers at The Ashmore Law Firm can help.  We can guide you through the entire probate process and handle probate administration, including the paperwork and court appearances, and save you both time and money.

Our principal attorney, Joseph A. Ashmore, Jr. has 12 years of experience as a probate judge.  His expertise in probate cases is well-recognized. He has been designated as an expert witness in probate cases and has provided guidance for probate cases.  His expertise and the expertise of The Ashmore Law Firm stand behind every probate case that we handle.

Expertise. Experience. Excellence.  This is our motto.  We use our expertise to provide every client with high quality legal services while maintaining a personal touch.  We work hard for you, so you can concentrate on the things that matter to you.
