"After my Mom passed away and her house was foreclosed on, Ryan of Conscious Dealz helped me get the excess funds from the foreclosure."

He told me the amount I would receive at the beginning of the process. He also told me that I would never have to step inside of a court room, which I didn’t want to due to the complex challenges of probate court. Ryan and his team worked very hard for me.

Texas Probate Litigation and Intestacy Lawyers

Probate litigation and intestacy often go hand in hand. A qualified Texas attorney can help you challenge a will or trust, so that the rightful beneficiaries obtain the decedent’s assets. With Keith Morris & Stacy Kelly, Attorneys at Law, you will find a skilled and experienced attorney that is ready to assist you with your probate litigation and intestacy cases.

Overview of Probate Litigation and Intestacy

A single individual or multiple parties can contest a will. Probate litigation often occurs due to a suspicion of an invalid instrument or trust, undue influence, mental defect, forgery or fraud, no-contest clauses, disqualification, property characterization and the administration of the estate, among many other 
grounds.

In Texas intestacy refers to a decedent that died without a will in place. As a result, the state determines how the property is distributed among varying levels of heirs. In certain cases, a beneficiary may not receive their fair share or nothing at all. A lawyer can assist you in attempting to obtain a just allocation based on your relationship with the decedent.

Disputes

In most cases, disputes are based on estate assets not passing to the appropriate parties. However, probate litigation and intestacy can also relate to improper distributions, a failure to make distributions, or misappropriation of funds.

Through the help of a knowledgeable attorney like Keith Morris, your case will be given the attention it deserves. A skilled and experienced lawyer will make every attempt to resolve your dispute amicably. Upholding the wishes of your deceased family member are a top priority and your lawyer will do everything they can to get you proper restitution.

A wide range of legal problems can arise in business transactions and fiduciary relationships. While the types of disputes can vary, one element remains the same – having an attorney who can untangle the legal mess is vital to a successful outcome.

Most commercial and fiduciary litigation is resolved before the issue reaches a trial so having an attorney who is skilled at the negotiation table as well as in a courtroom is vital. From breach of business contract to breach of fiduciary duty by a trustee, our firm will dedicate the time and resources needed to see you through your legal issues.

Estate planning involves using legal methods to ensure that your assets and property are passed on according to your wishes. It involves wills, trusts, and other legal instruments to accomplish that task and to make other arrangements, such as the type of medical care you wish to receive or not receive should you become incapacitated. Where disputes occur trust administration can lead to negotiation and litigation over various issues from breach of fiduciary duty to removing a trustee and more. Our firm is thoroughly versed in all of the issues that can arise and taking the appropriate legal measures to fully resolve them.
