Texas Family Limited Partnership Lawyers

Texas Family Limited Partnership Dispute Lawyers

In Texas, family limited partnership (“FLP”) matters have the potential to become contentious.  Not only do legitimate complaints arise concerning the management of the partnership, but these complaints are often exacerbated by interpersonal family conflicts.

In Representing Clients in Family Limited Partnership Disputes, It’s Important to Understand the Family Dynamics

Often, by the time a family limited partnership matter results in litigation, the relationships between family members will have become strained, if not bitter.  In some cases, these relationships may devolve into a “win at all costs attitude,” where family members will seek to do whatever they can to prevent the other side from winning.

It is usually helpful to focus on specific problems, rather than interpersonal issues.  For instance, if specific mismanagement has taken place, this is a legitimate issue that needs to be resolved, as it may affect the long-term profitability and survivability of the FLP.  Actions of self-dealing and conflict of interest issues also deserve to be resolved.
