Probate Contests and Will Disputes
Unfortunately, greed can often overtake people when a loved one has died. Families can be destroyed when they fight over property and money when someone dies. We have represented people during this difficult time. We try to get everyone to sit down and work things out instead of having to air the dirty laundry before the court and make things worse.
Texas has strict will laws
It is important to know the procedures and methods to challenge a will or estate in probate. We have represented clients through this process. We attempt to avoid court to save our clients and the estate money, but sometimes we do not have any other choice. Will construction and execution rules can be difficult to understand. We are experienced in probate law and will contests. We will fight for what is due to you.
How much to contest a will
It depends. We have represented individuals and family members on hourly rates or on a contingency basis depending on what type of estate it is and what we are challenging. There is a lot to consider when challenging an estate. We like to sit down with the person seeking to challenge the will or the person defending the suit to learn as much as we can. We will be open and honest with you regarding your rights and what is legal.
