When should I hire an estate litigation lawyer?

You should consider hiring an estate litigation attorney as soon as you suspect there may be a dispute regarding an estate. The sooner you act in these situations, the better position you place yourself in. It is especially important to talk to a lawyer quickly if you are dealing with will contests, trust disputes or concerns about beneficiary rights.

What are common reasons for estate disputes?

Estate disputes can arise for various reasons. Some common issues include will contests, where the validity of a will is challenged, and trust disputes, which involve disagreements over the management of a trust. It is also possible for a dispute to arise from beneficiary rights if someone did not receive their fair share of an estate plan. We can review any dispute you are dealing with, whether you are defending the decedent’s wishes or not, to help you protect yourself throughout the dispute.

How long does estate litigation typically take?

The duration of estate litigation varies depending on the complexity of the case and the willingness of parties to reach a resolution. It is possible to resolve a dispute in a few months, but it can also take several years. Our goal in these cases is to find the fastest method of resolving your dispute without sacrificing the quality of the results you receive.
