    About Probate Rodeo:

    In each episode of Probate Rodeo, Deborah Schmidt explores a variety of events in this professional arena, while rodeo entertains us with talented equestrians, the excitement of wild bulls, and timed competitions. In Texas, probate attorneys focus on minimizing excitement. The courts do handle a wild variety of complicated topics.

    And rounding up a family's estate can be as simple as a single trip to court with a valid will. But others may require a team of professionals. We are here to cover the good professionals, the bad examples, and the ugly mistakes. With less bull, we hope this information gives you courage if this is your first rodeo.
