Estate Litigation

Estate administration and distribution to intended beneficiaries can be a smooth process when the deceased has obtained appropriate and thoughtful estate planning advice prior to their death, and the executor performs their duties efficiently and in good faith.  Unfortunately, this is not always how events transpire.  Our team has the knowledge and experience to deal with a variety of issues that can arise for an estate.  For example, an estate may have been inappropriately depleted prior to the deceased’s death by a person acting pursuant to a power of attorney.  Or, there may be interpretational questions arising in a Last Will and Testament.  Sometimes an appointed executor has not performed their duties honestly or at all.  If you require assistance dealing with an estate dispute, whether you are an executor, a beneficiary, or some other interested party, we can help.
