Practice Areas

The attorneys at Hines-Maxwell understand that when a loved one has passed, it is inevitably a difficult time for everyone involved. From dealing with grief to making arrangements, it is challenging even under the best of circumstances. When unforeseen estate matters arise in the midst of an already stressful time, it can feel overwhelming. At Hines & Maxwell, we are here to help guide you through and answer all of your questions at every turn.

There are many options when it comes to a decedent's estate because Texas is known to be accommodating when it comes to probate matters. We can help with:

• Probating the will
• Probate of wills as muniment of title
• Small estate affidavits
• Affidavit of heirship
• Transfer on death deeds
• Dependent and independent administration
• Termination of heirship
• Will contests and trust litigation

From Simple To Complex
Every situation is different. Whether you discovered the title to your loved one's estate has been incorrect for decades, or you simply need someone to help you understand your role as executor of the will, we can help. Our lawyers will dedicate their time to understanding each unique detail of the estate so that we can determine the most effective and affordable way to meet your needs.

Real Estate And Probate: We Do Both And We Do Them Well
Our Cleburne law firm limits the practice areas we focus on, and our inclusion of both probate and real estate matters is intentional. The two practice areas are very closely related. It is usually after a loved one has died that the family finds problems with the title to the home or land. Our attorneys know that when clients are going through challenging probate matters, they often involve real estate issues. Because we take care of both real estate and probate matters, our clients benefit from that experience and knowledge.
