Richardson, TX asked in Probate for Texas

Q: My Ex-husband died in AR. the Estates in Probate. I live in TX, can my TX attorney represent me?

In our Divorce degree I was left the house & land after he no longer needed or wanted it. My ex husbands children from previous relationships are fighting this. I have an attorney here in Dallas & was wondering if he could represent me & my interests if Probate is in AR. I don't know an attorney in AR that I can trust to look out for me. Thoughts ?

A: Unless your Texas attorney is also licensed in AR, he may not represent you in the probate proceeding in AR. You can ask him for recommendation for an AR probate attorney.
