Probate and Will Contests
No matter how much work you put into your estate plan, issues may arise that require your loved ones to go through probate. Probate court is often necessary in order to transfer the title of property to a beneficiary. It is also necessary when will contests and other disputes arise about the validity of estate plans and executors' actions. Our attorneys are capable of working with you to resolve probate disputes promptly and favorably.
LGBT Estate Planning Issues in Texas
Estate planning is especially important for members of the LGBT community because many unique issues specifically affect them. Given the fact that the state of Texas does not recognize same-sex marriages, if your partner dies without an estate plan, you will have no rights under the law. It is essential that you speak to Katine Nechman McLaurin before this occurs.
We speak often on a number of issues affecting our clients and community, participate in many activities that benefit the community, and have prepared publications on these issues.
