About
Estate Litigation
Estate litigation involve legal disputes that arise in the context of someone’s estate after they have passed away or become incapacitated. These disputes usually involve issues related to the distribution of assets, the validity of wills or trusts, and the administration of the estate. Our attorneys have handled disputes such as challenges to wills, suits to remove or substitute trustees, and suits to defend or set aside contracts, deeds, gifts, or other transactions when there are allegations of undue influence or mental incapacity.
Whether disputes arise before or after the death of a loved one, we recognize every estate litigation case is unique, with its own set of challenges and sensitivities as estate disputes can be emotionally taxing. The last thing anyone wants to happen after a death of a loved one is to become embroiled in a lawsuit.
