What Type of Dispute Are You Involved In?
Our estate litigation practice is comprehensive, covering the full range of possible issues. This includes:
- Capacity to make a will — If someone is struggling with dementia or another medical issue, it may not be possible for him or her to make a valid will or legally change one that already exists.
- Undue influence on — For a will to be valid, there must not be excessive influence on the person making it from family members, caregivers, or any other party.
- Improper use of a power of attorney — If someone who has received power of attorney for health care or financial decisions fails to use it properly, legal action may be necessary to put matters to right.
- Wrongdoing by fiduciaries — Executors, trustees, and other fiduciaries sometimes breach their duties.
The exact shape that issues such as these take in your family depends on your unique dynamics. Perhaps there has been elder abuse, financial exploitation, self-dealing, or some other egregious conduct. No matter what happens, we have the proven ability to tackle these tough cases and protect our client’s rights and interests.
