Welcome

“Thank you for taking the time to visit my campaign website.

It’s always important to know your judges before you vote for them, not after you stand in front of them. The next election of countywide judges will be in November, 2010. In the meantime, get to know me, Barbara Scharf-Zeldes, candidate for Probate Court No. Two of Bexar County. 

For the last 16 years, I have been a probate and family lawyer, working primarily with police officers and firefighters. I have guided the widows and children of officers who died in the line of duty though administrations of their deceased spouse’s estate and guardianships for their children. I have been appointed by both probate courts to represent incapacitated children and adults, and determine heirs of estates. I have also served as a mediator, assisting parties in reaching agreements in their disputes.  I understand the dynamics of families under stress and I have the patience, sensitivity and desire to address their conflicts and concerns.

If there is any court that you should be concerned about, it is the People’s Life Court – Probate Court No. Two of Bexar County. Probate Court will touch your life personally or within six degrees of separation. There is no escaping it. You will go to Probate Court to administer a friend’s estate, seek a guardianship for incapacitated parents or for an orphaned child. The government may seek to claim your neighbor’s private land (eminent domain), or your psychologically challenged sibling will receive assistance through this court. It is imperative that you have a judge that understands these issues, understands the people of Bexar County, and who knows the law. You need a judge who wants to serve this community.

Help me make a change in Probate Court No. Two. Please invite your friends and families to visit my website and learn more about my campaign. Together, we will help the families of Bexar County.”
