Fiduciary Litigation

Jordan, Houser & Flournoy, LLP takes an aggressive approach to lawsuits involving trusts and estates in order to give our clients the best chance of success. Our trial lawyers represent executors, trustees, beneficiaries, agents under powers of attorney, guardians and other clients who have lawsuits involving the Texas Probate Code and Texas Trust Code. The following are examples of the kinds of cases we litigate:

• Will contests
• Lawsuits involving:
  • will construction
  • will interpretation issues
  • trustees or executors
  • breaches of fiduciary duty
  • trust management or investment
  • retirement benefits beneficiary designations
  • life insurance beneficiary designations
  • claims of common law marriage after the death of a "spouse"
  • children born after the date of a probate
• Contested guardianships
• Contested probates

In Texas, probate, guardianship and trust practice areas of the law are very specialized and very few lawyers have the experience to litigate disputes involving estates - we have that experience. Our firm has the capabilities and personnel to handle any size lawsuit. In some cases, we are willing to take the case on a contingent fee basis. We also welcome the opportunity to joint-venture cases with other attorneys. With offices located in Dallas, Rockwall and Frisco, we can easily handle cases in Dallas, Collin, Rockwall, Denton, Kaufman, Tarrant, Johnson, Hunt and surrounding counties throughout the Metroplex.
