Mediation or Litigation?
When people retain our services for probate litigation, we promptly begin conducting a thorough investigation of the allegations by interviewing all of the parties involved, collecting evidence and analyzing all relevant documents. We are strong negotiators, as well as aggressive litigators, so regardless of whether cases are being settled in or out of court, we proactively gather all essential information and proof.
We create solid legal strategies that accomplish the objectives of our clients, no matter where we present our case.
Mediation is one of the tactics we use to save our clients time and money. When mediation is not a viable option, we are fully prepared to aggressively litigate to achieve our clients' objectives.
We mediate and litigate probate issues such as:
- Fraud
- Undue influence
- Breach of fiduciary duty
- Creditor claims against the estate
- Improper compensation of the trustee
- Improper interpretation of trust distributions
- Questionable actions taken under a power of attorney
Uninformed or Untrustworthy?
If the executor makes a mistake in fulfilling his or her estate obligations, that person can be held liable. We have handled cases involving allegations of incorrect or fraudulent tax returns, improper interpretation of the will and improper valuation/distribution of assets.
Probate litigation can be unpleasant, especially when family members are functioning as the executor. The best way to avoid this situation is to allow us to handle your estate administration matters. We have relieved hundreds of people of this burden.
Executor's duties include:
- Locating and valuing the estate assets
- Paying creditors
- Filing tax returns
