Protecting a Family-Home

Legal Victory That Protected a Family Home

Family disputes over estates often carry more than just legal complexities - they're deeply personal and emotionally charged.

At Blizzard and Zimmerman, we understand that every case we take on profoundly impacts the lives of our clients.

This was especially true for one such case, where we stepped in to help a client hold on to her beloved family home.

Probate Victory

The Challenge: A Family in Crisis

Our client came to us nine months after the sudden passing of her father. Without a will in place, her father’s substantial estate was left to be divided equally between her and her sister. At the time, she was living in the home she’d grown up in - her father’s home. This house wasn’t just property; it was her sanctuary and a connection to cherished family memories.

Things quickly took a turn for the worse when the court-appointed estate administrator filed an eviction lawsuit against her, aiming to have her removed from the home. This legal maneuver not only placed her housing security at risk but also further strained an already tense family dynamic. Feeling out of options and out of time, our client turned to us for help.

She wasn’t just fighting an eviction; she was battling to protect her family’s legacy and the only place she still truly felt connected to her father.

Our Approach: Combining Legal Strategy with Empathy

We knew we had to move quickly and decisively. Attorneys Matt Zimmerman and Sydney Key dived into the case, meticulously reviewing documents, court procedures, and legal precedents. Right away, they noticed a critical flaw in the lawsuit against our client - both the filing for eviction and the court where it had been initiated were improper.

While the legal argument was complex, the heart of our approach was simple. We didn’t just focus on the law - we focused on what mattered most to our client. Knowing the emotional weight of the case, our strategy emphasized both legal precision and compassionate counsel.

With this in mind, we crafted and filed a compelling motion to dismiss the case. The argument was clear, expertly researched, and left no room for doubt.

The Outcome: A Hard Fought Win

When it came time for the hearing, attorney Matt Zimmerman presented our case with confidence and precision.

The judge ruled decisively in our client’s favor, dismissing the lawsuit entirely.

This victory wasn’t just about stopping the eviction - it was a turning point for our client.

The dismissal allowed her to stay in her father’s home and gave her the upper hand while the larger probate issues were being resolved.

More importantly, it offered an immediate sense of relief and stability during an overwhelming time.
