When a family member passes away, emotions run high and finances can quickly get complicated. In some cases, grief meets greed, and the legacy someone worked a lifetime to build can be lost through mismanagement or misconduct. Don Ford, a Board Certified probate and estate attorney and Managing Partner of Ford and Bergner LLP is here to explain how estate plans fall apart, why executors sometimes fail in their duties, and what families can do to protect their inheritance before assets disappear. A Baylor-educated attorney with backgrounds in accounting, taxation, estate planning, and business planning, he began his career as a tax attorney for an international consulting firm before dedicating his practice entirely to probate and estate matters.
