Katy Probate

The city of Katy is located at the tripoint of three different counties. Counties that serve Katy include Harris County, Fort Bend County, and Waller County.

It is of utmost importance to start the probate process in the correct jurisdiction. Probates filed in the incorrect court will very likely be thrown out even after going through all the steps, which is further complicated due to each court in Texas having its own set of probate proceedings and conditions.

However, our team of probate attorneys in Katy are committed to handling cases and guide clients, including the intricacies of the different county probate court systems.
