Will Contests
Upon death, an individual's will goes through the probate process. If the validity of a will is in question — or if any other disputes arise during the estate administration process — it is advisable to contact an attorney as soon as possible. If your family is dealing with any of the following disputes, contact our law firm to learn about your legal options:
- Inheritance disputes
- Undue influence
- Fraud
- Forgery
- Lack of mental capacity issues
Not all will contests involve intentional misrepresentation or acts. Very often, a will is invalid because it was poorly written. If this has happened to your family, our firm can take steps to ensure that the will is properly interpreted according to your loved one's wishes.
Trust Litigation
If your family is dealing with a trust contest, you will want to take steps to limit your financial loss and liability. Trust contests often center around determining the validity of the trust. However, we frequently represent clients in cases where a trust has been mismanaged by a trustee. In these cases, it is necessary to determine what, if any, violation occurred, and then take appropriate legal action. If a trustee failed to distribute assets — or if the trust was created improperly — seek legal advice as soon as possible.
