"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.

Stacy and her team were fantastic. We had heard horror stories of the probate process but our experience was fast and flawless with Stacy.

I have already recommended Stacy to others and will continue to.

Filing Lawsuits Against Agents

Under Texas law, there are several types of fiduciary relationships that exist as a matter of law. These include agents in a principal-agent relationship (real estate agents, brokers, attorneys-in-fact under a power of attorney). When fiduciary trust is breached, it sometimes becomes necessary to file lawsuits against agents in this type of relationship.

Power Of Attorney Abuse

When a fiduciary accepts his or her role, they are held to the highest standard of honesty and integrity under the law to exercise powers and accomplish duties as designated. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon to find abuse of agent duties.

These abuses can come in many forms, including:

  • Failure to disclose all information affecting the beneficiary’s interests
  • Improperly managing assets
  • Theft of fiduciary assets
  • Refusal to distribute assets to beneficiary or to do so in timely manner
  • Improper or untimely accounting
  • Failure to protect fiduciary assets
  • Using assets to agent’s own benefit
  • Poor treatment of beneficiary

Keith Morris believes that agents who mistreat their power should be held accountable to the full extent of the law and can assist you with litigation concerning:

  • Theft of fiduciary property
  • Breach of fiduciary duty
  • Fraud
  • Undue influence
  • Powers of attorney removal

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.
