When a family loses someone due to another person’s negligence, the financial and emotional toll is real and lasting. Texas wrongful death law recognizes that, and it allows eligible family members to seek compensation for more than just funeral costs.

Damages in a Texas wrongful death case can include:

Loss of the financial support the deceased provided to the family. Loss of the services they contributed, such as childcare, household work, and caregiving. Loss of companionship, guidance, and affection. Mental anguish suffered by surviving family members. Medical expenses incurred between the injury and the death.

The amount recoverable depends on the specific facts of the case, including the relationship between the claimant and the deceased, the deceased’s income and life expectancy, and the circumstances of the death.

Every case is different. The best way to understand what your family may be entitled to is to speak with an experienced wrongful death attorney.

At Barr Law, PLLC, we represent Houston-area families pursuing wrongful death claims in Texas.

Your trustee has not returned your calls. You have not received an accounting in over a year. You do not know what is happening with your trust.

This is not just frustrating. It may be a violation of Texas law.

Trustees have a legal duty to keep beneficiaries reasonably informed about the trust and to provide accountings when required. When a trustee goes silent or refuses to communicate, beneficiaries have the right to demand information and, if necessary, take legal action to compel it.

In Texas, if a trustee fails to provide an accounting after a proper demand, a court can order them to do so and may hold them liable for the costs of the proceeding. In serious cases, a trustee who conceals information may be subject to removal.

You do not have to wait and wonder. If your trustee is not communicating, there are steps you can take right now.

At Barr Law, PLLC, we represent beneficiaries in Houston who are dealing with unresponsive or secretive trustees.

Not every will is the final word.

In Texas, a will can be contested in court if there is reason to believe it was signed under undue influence, if the person lacked mental capacity at the time of signing, if the will was forged or improperly executed, or if a more recent valid will exists.

Will contests are some of the most emotionally charged cases in probate litigation. They often involve aging parents, estranged family members, late-in-life changes to documents, and caregivers who may have taken advantage of a vulnerable person.

If you believe a will does not reflect what your loved one truly wanted, or that someone manipulated them into changing it, you have the right to challenge it in a Texas probate court. But time matters. Texas law sets deadlines for contesting a will after it is admitted to probate.

At Barr Law, PLLC, Andrea Barr represents clients in will contests and probate litigation throughout the Houston area. We are experienced litigators who take these cases seriously.

What happens when family members disagree about who should become a guardian for a loved one?

In Texas, guardianship proceedings can become contested, meaning multiple people file to serve as guardian and the court has to decide. This can happen when a parent and adult child disagree, when siblings have different views on who is best suited, or when an outside party, like a friend or professional, applies for guardianship over the objection of family.

Contested guardianship cases are legally complex and emotionally draining. The court’s job is to determine what is in the best interest of the person who needs a guardian, not what the family wants. Evidence, credibility, and legal strategy all matter.

If you are involved in a contested guardianship case in Texas, having an experienced attorney on your side can make a significant difference in the outcome.

At Barr Law, PLLC, we represent clients in guardianship proceedings throughout the Houston area. We are here to help you navigate one of the most difficult legal situations a family can face.

Do you have a trustee who is mismanaging assets, refusing to provide accountings, or putting their own interests ahead of yours?

You have rights under Texas law, and you may be able to have that trustee removed.

Texas courts can remove a trustee for breach of fiduciary duty, failure to account, incapacity, or a complete breakdown in the relationship between the trustee and beneficiaries. The process involves filing a petition in court, presenting evidence, and in urgent cases, asking the court to step in immediately to protect trust assets.

It is not a simple process, but it is absolutely possible with the right legal representation.

At Barr Law, PLLC, we are fiduciary litigators. We represent beneficiaries in the Houston area who are dealing with trustees who are not doing their job. If something feels wrong with how your trust is being managed, trust that feeling and get legal advice.

Lack of Communication in Probate and Trust Administration

Executors and trustees have a duty to act with transparency. In probate and trust matters, failure to communicate with beneficiaries may signal deeper issues.

When information is withheld, beneficiaries may have the right to:
• Request formal accountings
• Seek court oversight including compelling accountings or other material information
• Challenge the administration

These disputes are common in contested probate and trust cases.

Barr Law represents clients in fiduciary and trust litigation throughout Texas.
