Estate & Trust Litigation

Court Intervention for Probate

Perhaps the most common reason an Estate needs court intervention is because the Will is non-conforming and the executor cannot be appointed without a court order.  This happens when the original Will is lost, but the family has a copy.  It also happens when the Will was not properly signed and witnessed.  In these circumstances, we work to get you the court order so that you can handle the Estate's affairs in a timely and efficient manner.

Estate and Trust Litigation

Sometimes an executor or trustee fails to respond to inquiries about assets and sometimes they wholly fail to fulfill one or more of their fiduciary duties.  Sometimes the heirs refuse to cooperate with the executor.  We can go to court to advocate on your behalf so that your loved one's wishes can be carried out.

Will Contests

A will contest is a challenge of the validity of a will.  Often, one party claims another exercised undue influence to increase their share of assets.  If you have questions about challenging a will, contact us about the risks and rewards to filing action.
