When a loved one passes away without a will, determining the rightful heirs to their estate can become a complex legal matter. In Texas, the Determination of Heirship process is a crucial procedure in such cases. The Law Office of Bryan Fagan specializes in guiding clients through this intricate process, ensuring clarity and legal precision.
The Determination of Heirship is a judicial process used to legally establish the heirs of a deceased person who died intestate (without a will). This process is essential in defining who has the legal right to inherit the estate.

Maria Garcia, a resident of Dallas, passed away leaving no will. She had two children and was predeceased by a third child who had two living children. The family, unsure how to proceed, sought our legal assistance for determining heirship.
We filed a petition for the Determination of Heirship, detailing Maria’s family structure. An Attorney Ad Litem was appointed by the court to represent the interests of the grandchildren. During the hearing, we presented evidence, including testimony from family members, to establish the rightful heirs. The court ultimately determined that Maria’s estate should be divided among her surviving children and the children of her predeceased child, according to Texas intestacy laws.
