We are different from estate planning and elder law attorneys in that we are experienced litigators. Attorneys who draft wills, trusts, powers of attorney and other estate planning documents usually have expertise in estate planning and tax matter and may lack the ability to litigate probate cases in court. Our lawyers are comfortable in the courtroom and have the trial experience to protect your interests in court.
Probate disputes often arise from someone abusing his or her fiduciary duty as a guardian or agent under a power of attorney. When someone has power over another person's finances, the potential for fraud or abuse is high.
Disputed probate matters often require creative, technical and practical solutions to resolve emotionally charged and complex legal and financial issues. Our probate litigators have the ability, temperament and analytical focus to approach these issues with both reason and skill. We have the ability to seek immediate injunctive relief to prevent further dissipation of assets.
