New York Estate Litigation Attorney

Trust and Estate Litigation

We provide skilled representation to fiduciaries, beneficiaries and other parties engaged in trust contests, will contests, accounting proceedings, trust and will construction actions where the meaning of an instrument is at issue, and a wide variety of other estate and trust litigation. We have represented trustees seeking to defend the administration of trust assets, as well as beneficiaries seeking removal of trustees based on breach of fiduciary duties. These representations involve a broad range of disputes involving sophisticated and novel legal issues. The probate process or the administration of an estate may be contested if heirs or other interested individuals believe that their rights were denied. Estates and trusts may be litigated for many reasons. A disinherited spouse may assert a right of election. A fiduciary may have his or her performance questioned. Serious and sophisticated issues are linked to litigated estates or trusts.
