Estate & Trust Litigation

When the distribution of wealth among family members and other beneficiaries is involved, relationships are often put to the test.  Will and trust contests have become increasingly commonplace, particularly in high-net-worth estates and complex probate matters.  

The process of resolving such disputes can add to the emotional toll caused by the loss of a loved one.  In some cases, hiring an experienced attorney to mediate a dispute between the parties involved can successfully avoid probate litigation.  Unfortunately, sometimes the distribution of wealth among beneficiaries can become so contentious that the only remaining option to resolve the dispute is to proceed with litigation.   

Our firm is uniquely suited to handle estate and trust disputes due to the experience and talents of its litigation team combined with the wealth of substantive knowledge held by its Estate Planning & Tax Group.  This powerful collaboration enables us to skillfully handle all aspects of the most sophisticated and complex estate and trust disputes and litigation.
