When a loved one passes away, families hope the estate will be settled smoothly and according to the decedent's wishes. Unfortunately, disputes sometimes arise—over the validity of a will, the actions of an executor or trustee, the distribution of assets, or the care provided to a vulnerable person before death. Our firm represents clients in all aspects of estate litigation, providing strategic counsel and vigorous advocacy to protect your rights and your inheritance.

​

We handle contested probate proceedings, will contests based on lack of capacity, undue influence, fraud, or improper execution, and discovery proceedings to locate assets or uncover estate documents. When fiduciaries breach their duties—whether through self-dealing, mismanagement, failure to account, or other misconduct—we pursue claims for removal, surcharge, and damages on behalf of beneficiaries. We also litigate trust disputes, including challenges to trust validity, interpretation of trust terms, and accounting disputes, as well as claims involving financial exploitation of the elderly, guardianship contests, and disputes over lifetime transfers and powers of attorney.

​

Estate litigation can be emotionally charged and legally complex, involving sensitive family dynamics, substantial assets, and intricate questions of law and fact. Our attorneys bring both compassion and resolve to every case, working to achieve results that honor your loved one's intentions and protect what you are rightfully owed. Whether through negotiation, mediation, or trial in Surrogate's Court or Supreme Court, we are committed to guiding you through the process with clarity, skill, and unwavering dedication to your interests.
