Practice Areas - Trust, Estate, and Fiduciary Litigation

When it comes to the Trust or Estate of a loved one, we hope that you and those close to you never encounter any difficulty.  Unfortunately, at times you may need to protect your rights and interests in a loved one’s trust or estate, or defend your actions as the fiduciary of a trust or estate.

When conflict arises regarding an estate plan, it commonly takes two forms: (1) a challenge to an estate plan document such as a trust or will, or (2) a challenge pertaining to the administration of a trust or estate.

Challenges to an estate planning document, such as a trust or will, commonly revolve around issues such as a lack of mental capacity, fraud, duress, and undue influence.  Challenges pertaining to the administration of an estate or trust frequently examine the actions of the fiduciary overseeing the administration, or pertain to issues that arise from the creditors and/or beneficiaries.
