North Texas Probate and Estate Dispute Lawyer
What is Probate?
Probate is a legal process wherein a deceased person's assets are distributed in accordance with the will and/or the relevant laws. Basically, the probate process settles any outstanding debt and then divides the remaining money and property according to the final wishes of the deceased.
Why Should I Hire an Experienced Probate Attorney?
The death of a loved one is no time to face important and complicated decisions alone. Depending on the nature of the estate, there may be trusts to administer, complex assets to distribute and debts to resolve.
It is especially important to have a knowledgeable attorney on your side should any estate disputes arise, such as a will contest or trust or guardianship dispute.
An experienced probate lawyer can guide you through the process and handle the legal details so that you can focus on your family. Contact our offices today to discuss your situation in a free consultation with attorney Jack K. Robinson.
I Was Named an Independent Executor of an Estate. What Does That Mean?
An independent executor is a person who has a fiduciary duty to manage or administer the estate for the benefit of the heirs. There are serious responsibilities that come with serving as an independent executor, and you may risk exposure to fiduciary litigation (lawsuits claiming you failed in your duty to act in the interests of the beneficiaries of the estate.)
Our firm provides guidance to trustees and executors (even banks acting as trust officers) in fulfilling their fiduciary duties. Should an estate dispute arise, such as allegations by a beneficiary that the trustee is improperly distributing the assets of the estate, probate attorney Jack K. Robinson can protect your rights in any fiduciary litigation.
If you were named the independent executor of an estate, the administrator of a trust or if there are guardianship issues regarding beneficiaries of the estate, it is extremely important to contact a knowledgeable attorney immediately.
