WHAT IS TRUST & ESTATE LITIGATION?
Trust and estate litigation refers to legal disputes involving:
- Wills and probate
- Trust administration or misconduct
- Guardianship issues
- Heir and beneficiary disputes
- Executor or trustee obligations and actions
- Breach of Fiduciary Duty
These disputes are handled in specialized probate courts, and often arise when a family member, beneficiary, or fiduciary challenges the validity of a will, the interpretation of a trust, or the way an estate is being managed.
Probate Litigation Matters We Handle
Whether your loved one passed away with or without a will, legal conflicts can surface during probate. We assist with:
Will Contests (due to fraud, undue influence, lack of capacity, etc.)
Executor Misconduct
Executor Removal
Estate Accounting Disputes
Beneficiary Disagreements
Heir Disagreements
Claims Against the Estate (retirement benefits, life insurance, etc.)
Family Allowance Issues
Spousal Election Issues
Guardianship Conflicts
Disputes Over Personal Representative Appointments
Breach of Fiduciary Duty
Some of these matters can be resolved outside of court through negotiation or mediation. Others may require trial — and if so, we’re prepared to represent your interests with clarity and strength.
Trust Litigation Matters We Handle

Trustee Misconduct
Breach of Fiduciary Duty
Trustee Removal
Trustee Replacement
Failure to Distribute Trust Assets
Unclear or Conflicting Trust Language
Disputes Over Trust Accounting
