What We Handle
Everything we do has to do with an estate, from the moment a plan is written to the moment the last dollar is distributed or the last dispute is decided.
-
Estate planning
Wills and trusts that make sure a client’s estate goes to the people the client intends to inherit it.
-
Probate and estate administration
Helping executors and administrators collect the assets, pay the creditors and distribute what remains to the heirs.
-
Litigation for people entitled to an inheritance
Contesting wills, resolving disagreements over who gets what, and pursuing executors or administrators accused of taking what is not theirs, distributing property incorrectly, or not distributing it fast enough.
-
Litigation for people charged with managing an inheritance
Defending wills, ending disputes over distributions, and defending executors and administrators against allegations of stealing from the estate.
How We Work
Estates are personal, so we treat clients the way we would treat family: available when needed, questions answered, documents done, and the goal, whether a will or trust, closing out the probate of an estate, or winning an inheritance case, kept on track.
If you are an executor who wants to protect the estate you are responsible for from unreasonable claims, we can help you push back and preserve the plan of the person who set the estate up. If you are a beneficiary who believes you are being cheated out of an inheritance, we can help you get what you are entitled to. If you are an executor or administrator who wants to get through probate quickly and efficiently, we can do that. And if you want a will or trust that sends your estate where you want it to go, we can draft it.
