How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Prepare & File a Property Deed in Texas

In 2025, a personal client in Texas posted a project seeking assistance with preparing a property deed. The client required guidance on drafting a transfer on death deed, specifically in a situation involving multiple owners where one owner, having been deemed incompetent by a court, posed unique challenges. With 50/50 ownership, the client was concerned about how the deed would affect their half of the property, especially in light of the other owner's potential probate. As a result, the client received two proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $399 to $450, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of one week.
