Estate Litigation & Will Contests
Protecting your rights in contested estate matters
Disputes involving a loved one's estate can be emotionally charged and financially significant. Our attorneys represent beneficiaries, executors, administrators, trustees, and family members in contested matters. We handle will contests, trust disputes, claims of undue influence or incapacity, accounting proceedings, and breach of fiduciary duty cases.
We begin with a careful analysis of the facts, documents, and medical and financial records to evaluate the strength of your position. When possible, we pursue negotiated resolutions or mediation to save time, money, and family relationships. However, when litigation is necessary, we are prepared to advocate aggressively in Surrogate's Court and other courts on your behalf.
Because we have a deep experience in estate planning and administration, we understand both the legal nuances and the human dynamics that often drive these conflicts. Our goal is to protect your rights, safeguard estate assets, and achieve a result that reflects both the law and the realities facing your family.
