How to choose an estate attorney in Houston

  • Read reviews and ask for references from recent Houston estate clients.
  • Pick a lawyer who focuses on estate planning and probate, not a generalist who dabbles.
  • Confirm they're licensed and in good standing with the state bar, and ask how long they've practiced near Houston.
  • Ask whether wills and trusts are flat-fee and what that covers (funding the trust, revisions, directives).
  • Ask who actually does the work — the attorney, a paralegal, or a form service — and who you'll call with questions.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • Who will handle my file day to day?
  • What's the realistic timeline for my Houston matter?
  • Is this a flat fee or hourly, and what exactly does it cover?
  • Do you focus on estate planning and probate specifically?
  • Will you help fund the trust and store the documents?

Many Houston listings also handle wills, trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and probate administration.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a will or living trust cost in Houston?

Many Houston estate attorneys charge flat fees, roughly $300 to $1,200 for a simple will package and $1,500 to $4,000 for a revocable living trust. Probate work is often billed hourly. Ask for a written fee agreement up front.

Do I need a will or a living trust?

It depends on your assets and goals. A will is simpler and cheaper; a living trust can avoid probate and keep matters private. A short consultation with a Houston estate attorney will tell you which fits.

How much does probate cost and how long does it take?

Probate cost and timeline vary by estate and county. Simple Houston-area estates can take several months, while complex ones run over a year. Ask the attorney for a realistic estimate for your situation.

What is the difference between estate planning and elder law?

Estate planning focuses on wills, trusts, and passing on assets; elder law also covers long-term care, Medicaid planning, and guardianship. Many Houston firms handle both.
