Wills, Trusts, & Estates

We help our clients with all aspects of estate planning, trust and probate administration, estate and fiduciary litigation, and related issues.

Estate Planning

Every family is different. Estate plans should not all look the same. Our goal is to understand your family, your assets, and what is important to you, so we can design a plan to meet your specific needs. In the end, we will create a customized estate plan that you understand and that will accomplish your goals.

Estate Administration

Serving as a trustee, executor, administrator, or guardian is often more difficult than anticipated. The rules are not intuitive. But when you agree to serve in this role, you are also personally guaranteeing the proper administration of the estate or trust. It is important to seek qualified counsel at the beginning stages. We have represented hundreds of executors, administrators, trustees, guardians, and beneficiaries in the administration of probate estates, trusts, and guardianships. While you may only do this once or twice in your lifetime, we do it every day.

Estate & Fiduciary Litigation

Disputes over estates, trusts, guardianships, and financial exploitation can arise during times of high stress and often involve friends or family members. The law related to these cases is also complex. If you find yourself involved in such a dispute, you need an experienced advocate and counselor. We represent clients in will caveats, elective share proceedings, trust modifications, incompetency and guardianship proceedings, and disputes involving fraud, exploitation, breach of fiduciary duty, inherited land, and other fiduciary matters.
