Estate Litigation Explained
Estate disputes are different than estate planning
Many lawyers draft wills. Many lawyers probate wills. Yet most estate planning attorneys never engage in litigation of any kind.
Estate litigation, probate litigation, and inheritance disputes require a very different set of skills from estate planning and document drafting.
Estate disputes can take many different forms
Common disputes include:
Misuse of a power of attorney
Disputes may also involve the validity of a deed or non-probate assets like life insurance or account designations.
You need an estate litigator, not an estate planner
Whatever the form, you need an attorney who is a probate litigator, who knows the law, and is willing to fight to protect your inheritance. We take pride communicating with clients and developing a plan. Sometimes that means fighting in court. Sometimes it is enough for the other side to know you have hired us to protect your interests.
When your case is facing possible litigation you need someone with probate litigation experience.

Our fees are built to suit your needs
We work with clients on fee arrangements based on what they want and the nature of the case.
We may accept cases on a contingency fee basis, which means that we will only be compensated for our time and effort if we are successful in a recovery.
We also sometimes offer alternative fee arrangements, which may involve a combination of a reduced hourly fee and a reduced contingent fee.
While we handle estate disputes across Texas, we’re proud to focus on these North Texas counties:
