Probate Litigation Lawyers Who Do Not Hesitate to Litigate

In many cases, the best outcome in a will contest will be attained by negotiating a settlement among all interested parties. Settlement expedites the process of finalizing the affairs of the deceased family member — and may also minimize long-term negative effects on family relationships.

In other cases, however, our client's best interests may be better served by taking a hard stance and forcing the dispute to a trial or hearing in which a judge will make the final determination.

Our attorneys represent clients in probate litigation proceedings involving:

• Will contests
• Heirship determinations in cases where no will exists
• Allegations that the testator was incompetent when the will was made
• Allegations that a proposed beneficiary committed fraud or exerted undue influence over the testator, such that the bequest should be invalidated
• Abuse of the authority given by a power of attorney, such that the power should be withdrawn
• Challenges to the named executors of the estate
• Disputes over partition or ownership of a family business when the owner passes away without leaving a business succession plan
