FAQ — Troy M. Moore — Probate, Estate Planning & Trusts

How much does an estate plan cost?
Simple individual will + POAs: $500–$700. Couples: $900–$1,200. Pour-over wills + revocable trust: $1,800–$5,500. Flat fees in writing before you commit.
Do I need a trust or just a will?
Most Texas families with under $500K in assets and no real estate elsewhere are fine with wills + POAs. Trusts make sense for: probate avoidance, blended families, special-needs beneficiaries, or out-of-state real estate.
How long does Texas probate take?
Independent administration (most TX estates): 6–9 months. Complex or contested estates: 12–24 months. Texas is comparatively simple — most estates can use independent administration.
What's an affidavit of heirship?
Texas-specific tool for transferring real estate when there's no will and no probate is needed — substantially cheaper than full probate when applicable.
Do you do home or hospital visits?
Yes, especially for elder-law cases where the client can't travel. Modest additional fee.
