In our modern age, texts and emails can be a benefit or a huge detriment to your Trust litigation case. There are times when the written word will back up your story, and then there are times when we send texts or emails that don’t look so good in the light of day. We’ve all been there. You’re angry, frustrated, scared, whatever, and a text or email is sent off without much thought.

Preserved Evidence: The Lasting Impact of Digital Communication

The problem, however, with bad texts and emails is that they last forever. You can get into a yelling match with a family member and no one can show documentary proof of it after the fact. But if you get into an angry text or email exchange, it is preserved for quite some time. And that preserved evidence can be used against you come a time of trial on your Trust litigation case.

In the video below, we talk a bit more about the pros and cons of emails and texts. We also touch on how photos and videos can be good, and sometimes bad, evidence in your case. There’s a lot to learn about text and emails as evidence. It doesn’t hurt to view the video below and give yourself some insight into this very important topic.
