Why It Matters
Estate Planning, Informed by the Courtroom
Most estate plans are drafted by attorneys who never see what happens when one is challenged. Tim Rutledge has spent 18+ years in Texas state and federal courts, handling the disputes that arise when documents are unclear or intentions are contested. He brings that perspective to every plan, drafting with an eye toward how it could one day be questioned.
-
Built to prevent disputes
Years spent litigating high-stakes conflicts inform plans designed to head off the disagreements that send families to court.
-
Clear, defensible documents
Precise drafting that reduces ambiguity, a common source of estate disputes.
-
Prepared for a challenge
If a plan is ever contested, you are already working with an attorney who knows how these disputes play out.
