Estate dispute attorney for will, trust, estate, and probate disputes

Why do you need an estate dispute attorney? You need one to protect your interests. Many estates involve substantial assets. Unfortunately, substantial assets may provide an incentive for someone to take some or all of what should come to you.

I handle estate disputes. I don’t prepare wills or trusts. I also don’t handle routine probates. There are plenty of good attorneys who handle those matters. 

My focus is helping people with contested estates, helping them get what they are entitled to–whether it is under a will, a trust, or the probate of an estate. 

Estate disputes take many different forms. Common ones that I see include:
• disputes about the meaning of a will or trust;
• claims that an executor or a personal representative has mishandled an estate;
• claims that a trustee has mismanaged a trust; and breaches of fiduciary duty. 

Whatever the nature of your estate dispute, you need an experienced litigator who knows the law and will fight to protect your rights. I emphasize direct unhurried communications with my clients. I listen carefully to my clients to understand what has happened and what they want.  Sometimes, when someone knows you have retained a lawyer to defend your rights, your dispute can be resolved without litigation.
