Our Staff Meet Your Legal Team

Good legal work requires three things in equal measure: intellectual curiosity, ethical behavior, and sound judgment. Our attorneys hold themselves to all three, because you deserve not only capable counsel, but thoughtful guidance you can trust when the stakes are real.

When an Estate or Trust Is in Dispute

Disputes over a will, a trust, or an estate carry real financial stakes and real family strain. We represent heirs, beneficiaries, executors, and trustees, and before we recommend a strategy, we ask about the family relationships behind the dispute, not just the legal claim. That's why our approach accounts for what a courtroom win costs a family that still has to sit at the same holiday table.

These cases mix legal complexity with family emotion. We handle each with the same care, and we tell you plainly where your claim is strong before you spend money pursuing it.

Estate Litigation Matters We Handle

Estate and trust disputes take several forms, and the right strategy depends on which one you're facing.

Our estate litigation attorney handles:

  • Will contests – We challenge or defend a will on grounds such as lack of capacity, undue influence, or fraud, and we tell you early whether the facts support a strong claim.
  • Trust disputes – We represent beneficiaries and trustees when the terms of a trust, or how it's being administered, are in question.
  • Breach of fiduciary duty – When an executor or trustee fails to meet their legal duties to beneficiaries, we pursue an accounting, a correction, or removal.
  • Accounting disputes – We demand and review the financial records an estate or trust is required to provide, then act on what those records show.
  • Heir and beneficiary disputes – We help family members work through disagreements over distribution before they turn into a drawn-out court fight.

Each of these disputes moves on its own deadlines, which is why identifying the right claim early protects your interests and your budget.

Frequently Asked Questions About Estate Litigation

The following questions come up most often when a family first realizes a will or trust is being contested.

Can I Challenge a Will or Trust?

You may be able to challenge one on grounds such as lack of capacity, undue influence, or improper execution. Deadlines to file a challenge are strict, which is why it pays to talk to an attorney as soon as you suspect a problem.

What If the Executor or Trustee Isn't Doing Their Job?

An executor or trustee owes legal duties to the beneficiaries they represent. If they breach those duties, a court can require an accounting, order corrections, or remove them from the role.
