My name is Ruby Bolton. I grew up in Bakersfield, California, obtained a bachelor's degree in English from Brigham Young University, and a law degree from UT, Austin. I have been married to Andrew Bolton for seventeen years. Together we have 5 children, ranging in ages from 12 to 2. Andrew and I opened our law practice together in Tomball, Texas in1993. Since then, we have seen our business expand and now have an office in The Woodlands, Texas, and frequently represent clients from all over Montgomery, Harris and Waller counties. A large part of my practice is made up of wills, estate planning and probate. I also occasionally speak on this topic for business organizations or at employee meetings. This is a diverse and interesting field of law, and I have started this blog to chronicle answers to some of the questions I get the most frequently, as well as to clear up some of the most common misunderstandings, and highlight some of the more interesting or quirky laws or findings that develop in this field. Please feel free to bookmark this page, or check back frequently. Several times a week I will be checking in to update you on legal developments in this field, or to highlight a a question that has developed in my practice. This blog is provided for informational purposes only, and should not be considered legal advice. Visiting it does not create an attorney-client relationship. I do however, think you will find it informative and sometimes surprisingly entertaining. If you have a particular question or area of interest, please send an e-mail to blog@boltonlegal.com. If your question cannot be fully addressed in this blog format, please contact my office at 281.351.7897, and my assistant will be happy to set an appointment for a personal consultation. I'm looking forward to exploring the possibilities of this format, and hope you enjoy your visit here. Ruby Bolton Attorney at Law
What can I do if I think the executor is cheating me? If you suspect the executor is either planning to cheat you or the estate, or is already doing so, you are not without remedies. By prompt action, you can prevent losses, and ensure that the executor lives up to his responsibilities.
Probating the estate of a loved one often gets harder, not easier, when it is delayed. If you delay probating a will for too long, you can lose the ability to do so. And if there is no will, witnesses become harder to locate as time passes.
Where should I keep my will? There are several good places to keep your will, and even more bad ones. This list can also act as a starting point if you are looking for someone's will.
At What Age should I let someone inherit? Some considerations and possibilities to keep in mind when deciding at what age you want your children or grandchildren to inherit.
Don't divide ownership in real estate. If you own real estate at your death, it is almost always best to either leave the entire property to one person, or to a trust, or to order that the property be sold and the assets divided.
Why it is a bad idea to make your children co-executors While Texas allows you to name co-executors to probate your will, it is almost always a bad idea.
We are not going to have any more children. Why should I list what will be inherited by children born after my will is written?
