Why a Zapata County Probate Attorney?

A Zapata County probate attorney can help his client establish a power of attorney before his or her death. The person who has the power of attorney is responsible for legal and other matters pertaining to the client in case that client becomes incapacitated. Granting someone power of attorney also goes a long way in avoiding disputes over the estate after the client’s death.

Still, a Will can be contested for all kinds of reasons. Interested persons can believe that the executor isn’t discharging his or her duties responsibility. They may believe that the deceased signed the Will under duress or that the Will is unclear and contradictory.
