What Issues Can Be Disputed?

Estate litigation or a trust dispute can arise from a variety of suspicions. Some of the issues where our firm helps clients include:

• Suspicions of undue influence
• Breach of fiduciary duty
• Will contests
• Belief that the distribution of assets was handled incorrectly
• Suspicions that someone is hiding assets
• Refusal to produce evidence and documents supporting the probate of the estate
• Theft from the estate

Legal Guidance Through a Complex System

Unfortunately, probate court can be complicated and expensive. It takes a lot of time and effort to identify whether there is a legitimate claim. And even if an attorney does find that there is a legitimate issue, the final outcome often depends on whether there is still money left in the estate. Additionally, judges have broad authority in these cases, so arguments must be ironclad in order to help guarantee a successful result.

At our firm, we will not lure you into pursuing a claim that will not lead to a favorable outcome. Our attorney will give you an honest assessment of your situation, and will make sure you are aware of all the potential issues before you decide whether to litigate. You can be sure that if litigation is a good choice for you that Mr. Bernick will be an aggressive advocate of your rights and interests.
