Probate & Trust Services We Offer in Houston
Probate and trust litigation processes have many legal nuances and provide many opportunities for disputes to arise, making legal support a valuable resource. RMO Lawyers offers services in the following areas to provide clients in Houston with the best possible results for their cases.
Trust litigation disputes can arise over the interpretation of the trust document, disagreements among beneficiaries, allegations of trustee misconduct, challenges to the validity of a trust, and more. Our trust litigation attorneys in Houston can provide the guidance necessary to navigate these disputes and fight for your inheritance.
Probate estate litigation is a complex process as all parties work to ensure an outcome that aligns with the interests of the deceased. Our Houston probate litigation lawyers assist families in navigating the necessary procedures and managing disputes so they can protect their claims to an inheritance and preserve the wishes of the deceased.
Guardianships are valuable in protecting vulnerable individuals and their assets, but these arrangements can be complex, and you should seek the assistance of an experienced attorney. If you need support in establishing guardianship in Houston or have a dispute with a current arrangement, we can help.
Financial elder abuse occurs when a bad actor uses deception, coercion, or other means to exploit an individual and obtain access to their assets. Our financial elder abuse lawyers in Houston can help victims gather evidence around the alleged abuse and build a case to restore their assets. We also help those wrongfully accused defend their alleged actions and restore their reputation.

See what our clients have to say about working with us.
Direct, honest, and helpful in our conservatorship dispute!
“Absolute pleasure to deal with! I highly recommend Scott and RMO. They are direct, honest, and helpful, and guided my family in a conservatorship dispute. Honesty these days is harder and harder to come by and it’s much appreciated!”
True professionals who provide five-star service!
“For a person who did not know where to start in seeking guidance for my family’s estate and legacy, Patricia who was the intake specialist and Scott Rahn were an amazing introduction to this world! Their friendliness, willingness, and prompt responses/follow-ups were appreciated and timely. True professionals! I have them on my important people list to share with my friends and family who may need their services. Five star Service!”
Aggressive and Compassionate Advocacy
“Scott Rahn and his team are not just a zealous advocates but caring individuals. Scott has a great bedside manner and takes care of his clients who are often times in a very vulnerable position. I highly recommend Scott to anyone looking for an aggressive yet compassionate attorney.”
A Huge Advantage
“RMO lawyers represented me in a civil suit involving corporate fraud, profiteering, etc. This was a complex case involving many moving parts, while going up against one of the largest law firms in LA. They settled the case. During the term of the litigation, they treated my case as though they were the plaintiff. They work with utmost diligence, competence and care. Sean and Matt knew my case better than I did, They used great strategy and their knowledge of the law was a huge advantage to us. This case represented my life’s work, savings and wealth, going up against a monster. I am glad I trusted them with it.”
Utmost diligence in complex litigation.
“Talking with Mr. Rahn was truly uplifting! He had all of the qualities I was looking for in an attorney. I was truly surprised of how good of a listener he was. I was expecting him to just run through my issues, dish some false hope, and be done with our consultation, but that was not the case at all. We talked well beyond my allotted consultation time and I was offered valuable advice and even a remedy to my situation where lawyers before him were unable to do. I can’t say enough about this wonderful man and what he has done for my family. We can now breathe comfortably. Thank you Mr. Rahn.”
Scott Rahn guided me through a complex case.
“Scott Rahn is an expert in this area of law. I have an unscrupulous sister who moved my father to another state. My sister sold his home and drained his bank accounts. Scott helped and guided me through the process. I highly recommend him and without hesitation would refer him.”
