Estate and Trust Litigation
Contested estates, contested trusts, and the people they affect.
Overview
When a will is contested, when a trustee breaches a fiduciary duty, when an heir is left out, or when undue influence shaped a deathbed change, the matter becomes litigation. Our trial attorneys represent personal representatives, trustees, beneficiaries, and disinherited family members in contested estate and trust proceedings.
