Interim Fiduciary Appointments

Service Areas Include:

Temporary Guardian of the Estate
Dependent/Independent Executor
Dependent Administrator
Interim Trustee
Guardian ad Litem
Attorney ad Litem

Interim Fiduciary Appointment services are an important part of the legal system in Texas, allowing for the appointment of a temporary fiduciary in the event of unforeseen circumstances. These appointments are typically made when a person is unable to fulfill their fiduciary duties due to illness, death, litigation, or other extenuating circumstances.

Temporary guardianships of the estate are often necessary when a person becomes incapacitated and is unable to manage their own affairs. As a temporary guardian of the estate, we can help locate, corral, and manage the finances of the incapacitated person, including paying bills, managing assets and investments, and safeguarding the estate. A vast majority of temporary guardian of the estate appointments are made by the Court and, as a result, we are able to provide regular breakdowns of all activity and financial matters to the Court.

Interim trustees are appointed when a trust is in need of administration but a permanent trustee has not yet been selected or is unable to fulfill their duties. As an interim trustee, we can help manage the trust assets, ensure that the trust is administered in accordance with the terms of the trust document and related orders, and provide ongoing updates to the Court, beneficiaries, and other parties.

Court-appointed executors or administrators are appointed when a person dies without a valid will or if the named executor is unable to fulfill their duties. We can work through the probate process, including identifying and inventorying assets, paying creditors, and distributing assets to heirs and beneficiaries.

In all of these cases, the appointment of an interim fiduciary is a complex legal matter that requires the expertise of a trusted attorney. At Netting Law, PLLC, we have the experience and knowledge necessary to take on these proceedings and help ensure that all interests are protected. If you or your client is in need of an interim fiduciary, please don't hesitate to contact us to discuss the situation and how we can be of assistance.
