Lynn, Attorney at Law in Colleyville.
We represent executors, administrators or personal representatives — both local and out of state — with Texas estate administration. We can take care of everything from the probate of the will through the valuation of assets to the final distribution of property to heirs and beneficiaries. For executors or administrators who live elsewhere in Texas or in another state, we can cover your responsibilities and keep you fully advised without the need for you to return to Fort Worth or Dallas. Our probate experience can help ensure that your estate administration duties will be fulfilled efficiently and reliably.
Brooks Lynn also advises successor trustees who must manage the assets of living trusts after the trustor's death. He can help you with your inventory and accounting responsibilities, the preparation of reports, and the scope of your fiduciary duties to income and remainder beneficiaries. If you encounter any problems about title to trust assets, or disputes over ownership with the executor of the estate, Brooks Lynn can help you find an effective solution.
Our law firm's experience with probate litigation can help any person with an interest in a Texas trust or estate find a way to resolve disputes concerning such matters as the following:
- Competence of the testator or trustor at the time the will or trust was executed
- Undue influence over the decedent by another
- Ownership of such assets as checking accounts, investment accounts or motor vehicles that may or may not have been transferred by gift or operation of law
- Title disputes between trusts and decedent's estates
- Disagreements between adult children from a previous marriage and a surviving new spouse
An important consideration in any probate litigation matter is the fact that family relationships are at stake. Arguments over the distribution of assets or the right of a particular family member to inherit can create or deepen divisions within families. At our law firm, we try to resolve inheritance disputes with these considerations firmly in mind. If negotiation or mediation can't lead to an acceptable resolution, however, we are always prepared to assert your claim or defense in probate court.
