Estate Litigation

Estate litigation can be daunting and is, by nature, highly personal. Whether you are disputing an inheritance, questioning the validity of a will/trust, or wanting representation as a beneficiary of an estate, we can help. 

Probate

If your loved one did not establish an estate plan prior to their passing, it is likely that their estate will need to go through probate. Probate is the court procedure to transfer assets out of an individual’s estate after they’ve passed away. Probate can be time-consuming, stressful, and overwhelming. However, when you choose a skilled attorney to assist you with the process, they will work closely with you to ensure that the proper steps are taken and that the process goes as smoothly as possible.

Guardianship Nominations

One of the biggest concerns among parents is “What will happen to my children if I pass away?” A complex estate plan creates a plan for that exact question. Taking the time to think about who you would want to take care of your children and how you want your children to be taken care of can be instrumental in what happens if you pass away and they’re under 18. With our advanced planning, some common mistakes can be avoided. 

Trust Administration

Trust administration is the private transfer of assets to the beneficiaries listed in the trust and in the manner listed in the trust. While trust administration can feel complicated and demanding, we are here to do the heavy lifting and guide you through the process.
