Unfortunately, disputes often arise after the death of a loved one.  Someone might present a will for probate that others believe to be invalid.  Examples of an invalid wills include wills that don'’t meet all of the requirements of Texas law, situations involving fraud and situations where a beneficiary unduly influenced the decedent. 

When a will is not present, there may be disputes about who is an heir of the decedent and who is not an heir.  In these situations, it is important to have an attorney familiar with the probate system and an attorney with trial experience in case the matter has to be tried to a Judge or jury.  As a former staff attorney for a Harris County Statutory Probate Court, attorney Donald S. Worley knows the probate system and has tried many cases in probate court.
