Taya Kyle, the widow of former Navy Seal and American Sniper author, Chris Kyle, is suing her estate planning attorney. The suit was filed in Dallas County last week. Kyle claims that her attorney and trustee of her family trust, Christopher Kirkpatrick, acted negligently with regards to the services he provided her and her late husband. Kyle also alleges that Kirkpatrick failed to inform her that he had a conflict of interest, which was an impediment to his representation of her and her husband. The estate of Chris Kyle is also a plaintiff in the lawsuit.
