Estate Litigation

Settling an estate can sometimes become difficult and complicated when emotions run high and confusion, miscommunication, and personal matters enter the equation. In some cases, claims may be filed against an estate, for example: when a spouse or family member contests a will or its validity for any reason, accountings are questioned, disputes arise between beneficiaries, unjust enrichment or mismanagement is alleged, etc. If you have reason to believe that you have been wronged, we can help you seek relief when all other avenues have failed. If litigation is necessary, we will pursue your claim in a court of law.
