Legal Solutions Tailored for You

Strategic Representation in Estate Disputes

Trust and probate conflicts involve more  than legal issues—they impact family relationships and generational  wealth. Our practice provides clear guidance and decisive representation  to resolve these sensitive disputes efficiently and effectively.

We represent beneficiaries, trustees,  personal representatives, and other interested parties in contested  trust and estate matters. Our approach combines thorough legal analysis  with practical strategies designed to protect your interests while  minimizing unnecessary conflict.

Our trust litigation practice includes representation in disputes involving:

• Breach of fiduciary duty by trustees
• Trust contest and validity challenges
• Trust modification and termination
• Trustee removal proceedings
• Misappropriation of trust assets
• Trust accounting disputes
• Interpretation of ambiguous trust provisions
• Trust reformations and modifications

In probate matters, we provide experienced representation for:

• Will contests and validity challenges
• Executor and personal representative disputes
• Claims against estates
• Undue influence and lack of capacity claims
• Estate accounting controversies

Trust and probate disputes require a  nuanced approach that balances legal advocacy with family dynamics. Our  representation features:

• Early case assessment to identify core issues and potential resolution paths
• Strategic use of discovery to establish factual foundations efficiently
• Experience navigating complex fiduciary standards and obligations
• Recognition of when settlement serves client interests better than protracted litigation
• Trial readiness when matters cannot be resolved through negotiation

Litigation depletes the very assets being  contested. We prioritize strategies that protect estate and trust assets  from unnecessary depletion, including:

• Targeted motions practice to resolve key issues early
• Alternative dispute resolution methods when appropriate
• Asset preservation measures during litigation
