Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is crucial for individuals seeking legal representation in cases of inheritance theft in Texas. This agreement outlines the client-attorney relationship, detailing the attorney's responsibilities and the fee structure based on the recovery amount. Clients retain attorneys to prosecute claims and negotiate settlements, with fees contingent upon the outcome—typically a specified percentage of the recovery. The form includes provisions for costs incurred during the case, which the client must also reimburse. It allows attorneys to employ experts and associate counsels as needed. Key features include the power of attorneys to execute necessary documents on behalf of the client and stipulations regarding withdrawal and substitution of attorneys. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it clarifies the financial implications of representation, streamlines communication about costs, and ensures compliance with Texas law governing contingency agreements. Properly filling out and executing this form establishes a clear understanding of obligations for both the client and the attorney in inheritance theft matters.
