Experienced Probate & Estate Litigators

Our experienced attorneys have advised families across Texas on all matters related to estate planning, probate, guardianship and trusts — from simple uncontested matters to complicated cases involving tough litigation. We strive to offer practical, tailored solutions to every situation your family might face.

While most people think of the death or incapacity of a loved one as a time for a family to come together in the best interest of everyone involved, there are sadly many instances where a family member’s incapacity or death can result in litigation among their family members.  When legal controversies over estates, trusts, and guardianships threaten to lead to litigation, our attorneys work tirelessly to prepare the case for trial with the hope that we might first be able to help the clients resolve the issues out of court.

Any time that someone dies leaving assets but failing to leave a Will, the law provides a mechanism for determining who the proper recipients of his or her assets will be.  Those recipients, known as the heirs, are generally determined through a formal court proceeding called a Determination of Heirship.

Texas law requires executors and administrators to retain competent legal counsel throughout the entire time they serve on behalf of the estate.  Understanding that the probate process always involves the difficult loss of a loved one, our probate lawyers offer compassion and efficiency. We know what is important every step of the way, and we are happy to assist clients all over Texas from our offices in Houston, Dallas, and Austin.
