Will Contests & inheritance disputes

Our team is experienced in handling will contests and inheritance disputes and have obtained favorable results in probate court for our clients, providing not only a financially rewarding outcome, but peace of mind and the ability to resolve emotional family disputes.

At the time a will is probated, or approved and accepted by the court, it is imperative that the will accurately reflects the final wishes of the deceased. This is not always the case. A will contest may be filed with the court when the validity of a will is being questioned, usually due to lack of capacity or undue influence.

Inheritance disputes may involve a claim that the executor of the will has breached their fiduciary duty to the estate and has failed to uphold their duties toward the estate and its beneficiaries. Perhaps the executor has not distributed the estate assets properly or not at all, or they are not protecting the assets in the estate.

If you or a family member have any concerns about a will or estate matter, our experienced team is here to help. We can help sort out what can be emotionally charged and challenging circumstances and champion your cause in the proper method.
