Trust, Estate, and Probate Litigation

Estate and probate litigation involves disputes that arise after someone dies, while the estate is being administered.  Trust litigation also involves disputes that arise after someone dies, while the trust is being administered.  However, trust litigation can also ensue while the grantor is still alive.  Regardless, the types of issues commonly seen in this area of the law include challenges to wills (will caveats), disputes regarding heirship or the right to inherit, illegitimate children’s rights to inherit from their father’s estates, blended families and step-family members’ rights when someone dies, late in life marriages and inheritance disputes, interpretations of wills or other estate planning documents, the mismanagement of estate/trust funds or estate/trust property, and the refusal of entities to honor powers of attorney.

Rebecca has extensive litigation experience and has been successful recovering estates and property for her clients from individuals who have attempted to take what isn’t theirs.  If you are in need of guidance regarding inheritance rights, a will challenge, the mismanagement of funds or property, or challenging an entity/person who refuses to recognize a power of attorney, contact Rebecca McNerney.
