Probate, Property, Civil Litigation, Houston, Texas
Where property, life, and the law intersect.
At CTLCG, PLLC (d/b/a Contra Terra Group), we provide the following legal services.
Texas Probate
When someone passes, the estate still must be administered — rarely at a convenient time. We manage it start to finish, with the discretion the moment calls for, so your family can settle matters and move forward.
- Independent Administration
- Dependent Administration
- Heirship Determination
- Small Estate Affidavit
- Will and Administration Contests
- Creditor Claims
Inherited Property & Clearing Title
When real estate remains in a deceased owner's name, heirs often can't sell, refinance, or insure it until title is clear. We resolve it with the least process the situation allows — cleanly, and without drawing attention to a private matter.
- Muniment of Title
- Affidavit of Heirship
- Deed and Title Correction
- Removing a Deceased Owner from Title
- Homestead and Survivorship Issues
Liens & Claims Against Property
A lien or unpaid claim can cloud a property for years, then surface at the worst possible moment. We determine what's attached, whether it holds, and clear what shouldn't be there.
- Lien Review and Release
- Tax and Judgment Liens
- Creditor Claims Against an Estate
- Title Clouds and Encumbrances
- Payoff and Release Negotiation
Business & Holding Formations
Real estate held in your own name is exposed — to liability, to publicity, and to the next dispute. For investors, landlords, and owners holding property for the long term, we structure the entities that hold it: separating assets, limiting exposure, and keeping ownership as private as the law allows.
- LLCs and Series LLCs for Property
- Holding Company Structures
- Asset Protection and Liability Separation
- Landlord and Rental Entities
- Ownership Privacy and Anonymity Structures
- Operating Agreements and Succession
Texas Estate Planning
The cleanest probate is the one your family never has to endure. For clients with real assets to protect, we build a plan that moves property exactly as intended — quietly, and without a courtroom.
- Wills
- Trust Creation and Management
- Transfer-on-Death Deeds
- Business Succession
- Powers of Attorney and Directives
Real Property Matters & Disputes
Property questions run from the routine to the contested — a deed to correct, a contract to close, or a fight over who owns what and where the line falls. Whatever it touches, we tell you exactly where you stand and handle it from there: quietly and out of court where we can, and firmly when it comes to that.
- Deeds, Transfers, and Title Review
- Purchase and Sale Agreements
- Easements, Boundaries, and Access
- Partition of Co-Owned Property
- Heir and Ownership Disputes
- Quiet Title and Adverse Possession
- Landlord and Tenant Matters
- General Real Estate Counsel

About CTLCG, PLLC (d/b/a Contra Terra Group)
We are a Houston private-client firm focused on property, estates, and the matters that sit where the two meet. Most of our work comes by referral, from clients and other professionals who trust us with things they'd rather keep quiet. An estate to settle, a title to clear, a property holding to structure and protect. Our approach is deliberate and discreet: a straight, unbiased read on where you stand, and a strategy built around your goals rather than a template. We work on an engaged, fee basis with a select group of clients who value having things done properly and privately. If that's what you're looking for, we should talk.
We work on a fee basis, not pro bono, and only rarely on contingency. Most consultations require a deposit. We're the right fit for clients ready to invest in doing this properly.
