Trust and Estate Litigation

The loss of a loved one can be emotionally and financially challenging, and it’s not uncommon for disagreements to arise. Whether the disputes involve heirs, executors, or family members not mentioned in a will or trust, our team of estate planning lawyers can leverage our extensive experience to assist you in navigating these potentially volatile and emotionally-charged circumstances.

We handle cases concerning will contests, trust litigation, suits by creditors, breaches of fiduciary duty, and more. We can also help resolve disputes regarding the construction of wills, codicils, and trusts, which may arise with vague, ambiguous, or contradictory provisions.
