Probate litigation is usually preventable with proper planning and execution of documentation of a decedent’s wishes. Pipkin Ferguson, PLLC, encourages Texans to review estate plans every few years or whenever there has been a change such as marriage, divorce, birth or death in the family or a change in assets or health considerations relevant to powers of attorney.
