About

Probate Shepherd

Founded in Houston, Texas, in 2003, Probate Shepherd® LLC is your nationwide directory for connecting with vetted, local probate and estate-administration attorneys. We know how overwhelming probate and estate matters can be—emotionally and financially—so we built a one-stop online resource to simplify every step.
