Probate Attorney

Our probate attorneys can help with will administration, trust disputes and other estate matters.  We understand the legal issues involved and the process of administration. Our probate attorneys can also advise clients should a dispute arise between the heirs of an estate, whether a disputed will or trust. With a team of experienced probate attorneys, our lawyers routinely confer, share ideas and discuss case strategy as a group. Importantly, this team approach helps our attorneys to provide legal advice clients expect and allows our attorneys to call on the depth of the firm whenever necessary.

We have represented probate clients in hundreds of adverse hearings, mediations and final hearings regarding disputes between heirs, including family disputes and disputes between family and nonfamily caregivers.  Our probate attorneys have the experience to help guide clients through the sensitivities of negotiating among family, as well as knowing when to fight hard in the situation of nonfamily who may have taken advantage of an elderly parent.

Our probate attorneys and trust dispute lawyers understand the importance of preserving and protecting estate assets such as:

• A bank account or investment account in the sole name of a decedent.
• A life insurance policy, annuity contract, or individual retirement account payable to the decedent’s estate.
• Heirlooms and treasured assets passed down for generations.
• Business assets and business goodwill.
• Investments.
• Real estate titled in the sole name of the decedent, or in the name of the decedent and another person as tenants in common.
• Homestead property.
