Conroe Probate Attorneys

Located north of Houston, the City of Conroe serves as the county seat for Montgomery County. When a loved one passes away, the probate process must be done in the county in which the decedent resided. Our team of probate attorneys in Conroe are committed to handling cases and guide clients through the intricacies of the Montgomery County Probate Court system.

Conroe Probate Court

Since the probate process is done in the county in which the decedent resided, cases in Conroe are done through Montgomery County.

Unlike neighboring Harris County, Montgomery County does not have any statutory probate courts. Uncontested probate dockets are every Thursday afternoon in Montgomery County Court at Law 2 as follows:

  • Wills/Administrations: 9:00 a.m., 9:45 a.m. & 10:30 a.m
  • Guardianships: 11:30 a.m
  • Heirships and Heirships w/ Administrations:  Mondays, Tuesdays & Wednesdays at 8:30 a.m. 

Contested probate matters are by appointment but typically on Thursday afternoons. The information for County Court at Law 2 can be found below.

  • County Court at Law 2
    • Judge Claudia Laird, Presiding
    • Atrium Building 210 West Davis, 3rd Floor, Conroe, Texas 77301
    • Court office hours: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM (excluding county holidays)

The judges for all Montgomery County courts have agreed to the Montgomery County local court rules, but each judge has their own manner of hearing cases and operating their court. What works in one court in Texas may very well not work in another court in Montgomery County.

What this then ultimately highlights, is the importance of consulting the local rules and procedures for each court. This is also the reason many individuals opt to hire a probate attorney who regularly handles cases in the Montgomery County Court at Law 2.
