Probate Litigation
Probate litigation arises from legal disputes about aging-related issues, disability, and death. It may involve court actions over those still alive, such as guardianships and conservatorships, as well as legal contests over powers of attorney, patient advocate designations, and living wills. Our team represents clients regarding a wide range of issues presented by probate litigation, including cases regarding wills, trusts, estates, asset disputes, joint bank accounts, and gifts.
A complaint in equity may be filed when there is no legal remedy to resolve a situation between two or more litigants, such as unmarried couples who combined their finances and can find no common law or statutory provision for their case. Our attorneys bring and defend these kinds of cases in probate and family court.
