How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft an Affidavit of Heirship in Texas

In 2026, an individual in Texas sought assistance with drafting an affidavit of heirship to access funds held in a deceased mother's bank account. The client aimed to ensure all necessary details were accurately included in the document, following the recent loss of their mother. Given the sensitive nature of this situation, a flat fee arrangement for the service was preferred to maintain clarity regarding costs. As a result, the client received six proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $350 to $2,500, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of less than a week.
