Trust And Estate Litigation
Trust and estate litigation, or probate litigation, can arise for several reasons:
- Will contests: Was the estate administered properly? Was the will valid? Was there capacity or any undue influence?
- Trust contests: Was the money management in the trust done properly?
- Fiduciary litigation: Has trustee mismanagement occurred?
The main issues in probate litigation are who is in control and how is that control being handled. Our firm can help you answer these questions and resolve any disputes or will contests in a respectful, reasonable manner.
