Austin Courts: Probate Litigation
Probate and disputed Wills may give rise to litigation. Given the unique combination of emotional and financial issues involved, this probably should not be a surprise and is an unfortunate reality of the probate process.
Many probate and estate planning attorneys, although highly skilled in the probate and estate arena, find themselves overwhelmed when a matter they are handling ends up in litigation or a drawn out court battle.
