How Can Our Estate Planning Attorneys in Texas Help You?
Should I Litigate a Probate or Guardianship Dispute?
Probate disputes and guardianship disputes can arise when there are disagreements among family members or other heirs over the distribution of a deceased person’s estate or the care of a vulnerable individual. These disputes can become strenuous and lead to family rifts that can last for years.
Litigating probate and guardianship disputes may be necessary when all other attempts at negotiation have failed to reach a satisfactory resolution. In such cases, court intervention may be needed to clarify legal issues, interpret the deceased person’s intentions, and ensure that all parties receive a fair distribution of assets or that the vulnerable person receives appropriate care.
If there are allegations of financial mismanagement or abuse, it may also be necessary to litigate the matter to protect the interests of the beneficiaries of the estate. Ultimately, the decision to litigate should only be made after careful consideration with the help of our expert litigators.
