Trusts + Estates Litigation

Overview

Complex disputes over wills, trusts and estate administration can lead to contentious legal battles and substantial financial loss. The sensitive and personal nature of these matters add even more complexity to the litigation process, exposing involved parties to potential animosity, emotional distress and estranged relationships. Beyond the financial and legal consequences, failure to resolve trust and estate affairs in a timely and sensitive matter hinders the process of administering estates, distributing assets and resolving beneficiary claims—all unnecessarily prolonging the grieving process for heirs and beneficiaries.

Advising through all stages of litigation, our team offers document review and preparation, fiduciary duty analysis, effective court representation, and settlement negotiations.
