Estate Administration

When an estate plan includes one or more trusts, it does not need to go through the formal probate process, but work will need to be done to ensure the plan is put into effect. We provide estate administration services to handle the details of executing an estate plan with a trust.

Will and Trust Litigation

If there is a dispute about the validity of a will or the execution of a trust, our estate attorneys can represent your interests in court. We represent parties on either side of an estate litigation matter, from heirs contesting a will to executors accused of wrongdoing when probating an estate.
