We understand Estate Disputes and Will Contests

Our knowledge of probate and trust dispute litigation and other estate disputes is recognized throughout the legal community. Attorneys from our firm have been asked to share their knowledge of important matters, such as the recently adopted Estate and Protected Individuals Code (EPIC) upon estate administration and contested probate matters. We have shared this knowledge in the form of lectures in front of other lawyers and legal groups.

In will contests and probate dispute cases, we represent individuals with substantial personal estates, bank trust departments, individual trustees and personal representatives, as well as disinherited family members and others involved.

We know will contests

Will contests are at the center of most estate disputes. Among the disputes that arise are matters of one party exerting undue influence on the deceased for the sole purpose of gaining favor in the will. Another reason for will contests is allegations of lack of capacity on the part of the deceased.

Regardless of the type of will contest and estate dispute, whether it relates to the wills, trusts, who has been selected as beneficiary or anything else, our attorneys can help.

We offer free consultations in estate dispute cases. E-mail us or call us at (248) 335-5000.
