Our lawyers at Gordon & Sykes, LLP, serve clients in Dallas-Fort Worth, throughout the Metroplex and across North Texas when they have estate litigation needs.
The Tarrant County probate litigation lawyers in our firm can assist you with any estate litigation matter, including:
- Will contests resulting from allegations of undue influence
- A will or trust contest due to lack of capacity
- Interpreting the meaning of language
- A need to reform an estate planning document because a bank or person is named as an executor and that person is no longer able to perform this function
- Breach of fiduciary duty on the part of an administrator, executor, guardian, conservator, or personal representative that may involve estate fraud, stealing from the estate, mismanagement of the estate, breach of trust or failure to comply with reporting requirements
- An argument concerning who is qualified to serve as executor
- If the will does not provide for a particular problem or event
- Modifying or amending a will or trust that does adequately address an unanticipated or unforeseen event
We also help people bring legal action in contested trust matters. This may include clarifying the termination date when assets will be distributed or if an interested party thinks they are owed money by the estate but the executor does not believe making the payment is appropriate.
Our lawyers can help an executor provide an accurate accounting and we also have experience compelling executors to make distributions from an estate or having them removed when they do not comply with court orders and relevant probate requirements.
