Clients want more involvement in their probate cases. They want to be kept informed about the progress of their case. They want to know what needs to be done next. Furthermore, they don’t wish to pay a probate attorney for routine administrative tasks.


For these clients, we have created a client portal. It is a communication tool that helps us provide step-by-step instructions, guidance, checklists, etc. to complete the probate process. Clients can communicate with us on their terms about their cases.

As a leading provider of probate services in Dallas, TX, this is just one of the innovations we’ve implemented to better serve our clients.

“The attorneys were knowledgeable. They answered all of my questions, provided me with a rough cost estimate and let me know what the next step in the process might be.”


“Kreig’s knowledge is well demonstrated and his logical approach is very well thought of in order to protect the interests of his client. His true confidence and abilities to articulate well are other good qualities that not every attorney could have.”

4worldlovers: Fixed-Fee Probate — Great Rates! A Dallas and Collin County probate attorney with extensive experience and reasonable, fixed fees, Michael Duran has helped over 2,000 clients with their uncontested probate, guardianship, and estate planning matters. We believe that our rates are fair, particularly when you consider that Michael is a former probate court clerk who has been appointed by the Collin County Probate Court and all three Dallas County Probate Courts to administer probate and guardianship estates when there is no family member that is qualified to do so. In effect, Michael has been in your shoes as he has served as an executor or guardian.


Probate should not be expensive in situations where there are no disputes among the decedent's family members, particularly if the decedent underwent the time and expense to obtain a professionally drafted will. That's why executors are shocked when they call around and receive hourly-fee retainer requests of $3,000 to $5,000. At the Duran Firm, we like to fit clients into competitive, fixed-fee arrangements whenever possible. In order to be considered for a fixed fee, the following conditions must be met when probating a will:


1. The Decedent must have been a resident of the DFW area;


5. The Will must appoint an “Independent Executor” or provide for “Independent Administration” or the probate must be a muniment of title proceeding; and


6. The Will must be "self-proved." Click here for a full discussion of this requirement (Texas Estates Code Section 251).


If there is not a will, we can still help you for a fixed fee provided requirements 1-3 above are met, and all of the intestate heirs of the estate have legal capacity and can agree on the process for probating the estate.


How to get started. There are many different ways to probate a decedent's estate. To learn about them, you can call the Firm at 469.708.6050 and we will walk you through the process. Most times we can also give you a quote on what you can expect to pay, subject to receiving the original will (if there is one) and a completed Client Information Worksheet.
