Brazoria County is one of the larger counties that make up the Houston area. According to the US Census Bureau, almost 13% of the population is over the age of 65. Compared to neighboring Harris County this is 40% more individuals, by percentage, over the age of 65.
Unfortunately, with an older demographic comes more death, and with more death comes more probate cases.
