Estate & Probate Litigation
When a will or trust is contested, the work requires a careful understanding of the documents, the legal standards, the witnesses, the assets, and the procedural path.
Services include:
- Will contests and trust contests
- Capacity and undue influence disputes
- Petitions for instructions
- Beneficiary disputes
- Contested distributions and amendments
How the firm approaches the work.
The first step is to identify the governing documents, the assets at issue, the fiduciary roles, the deadlines, and the practical pressure points. From there, the firm develops a plan that fits the facts rather than forcing the facts into a template.
