Probate litigation and inheritance disputes can arise due a variety of factors—undue influence being asserted by an eager beneficiary or family member, poorly drafted documents, the failure to do proper planning or memorialize wishes in a document, an executor or trustee mismanaging or failing to properly account for assets—the list goes on and on. We help clients attempt to resolve conflicts amicably so they can avoid the stress of litigation. However, a resolution is not always possible. In those instances, we can assist clients in estate litigation, trust litigation, or guardianship litigation matters.

Issues on which we can advise clients include lack of mental (or testamentary) capacity, undue influence, fraud, tortious interference, beneficiary rights (whether you are a beneficiary of a Will or a trust), or fiduciary negligence or malfeasance. If you feel as though you might have been treated unfairly, whether the issues relate to actions taken prior to the death of a loved one or after the death of a loved one, we can help.
