Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

I am named as executor in Mo-in-law's will. She resided/died in Northrichland Hills, Texas. I need to file a probate and administer estate in Fort Worth, Texas.

Decedent's husband lodged will and filed Application to administer estate. He was not named in the will as executor. Decedent's three adult natural children (all in California) would prefer that I act as executor. I am Cal Atty.

Estate consists of Texas house, contents, percentage of income-generating commercial property, possibility of bank accounts and continuing intellectual property royalties.

There is the possibility of litigation over interpretation of the will as it appears to have been prepared using a computer program, not prepared by attorney.

Looking for representation in the probate. Want to know how your fees would be paid, i.e., hourly, statutory fee based on assets in estate, etc.

Thanks

You selected the wrong state. Not sure how the question fields are populated, but if the state is automatically selected by zip code, you should re post your question with the decedent's zip code to get your question posted to TX attorneys.
