Success Stories
Showcasing our history of helping clients manage their estate and probate matters with efficiency and tact.
Lost Will Proceeding
The deceased’s original will could not be located. Neither could a copy of the signed will. We filed an application for probate of a lost will and were able to prove the will had been executed and its contents. This allowed the executor to carry out the deceased’s wishes and avoided the estate passing under the intestacy laws of the state of Texas.
Family Settlement Agreement
Represented the surviving spouse of a Decedent in drafting and negotiating a family settlement agreement with other heirs who were named in Decedent’s will. The Will was poorly drafted and resulted in unintended consequences of leaving the surviving spouse with inadequate assets. Our firm was able to assist her in negotiating a family settlement agreement that worked around the will and resulted in her salvaging what could have been an extremely problematic and contentious probate.
