When Disputes Arise, We're in Your Corner
Disputes happen, even in families. I represent clients in contested trust and estate matters when something doesn't feel right, isn't fair, or when a loved one's wishes aren't being respected. Whether you're defending a trust or challenging one, I'll fight to protect what matters most.
What We Help With
Trust and estate disputes often begin with one simple feeling: something is not right. Whether you are a trustee facing accusations, a beneficiary being denied information, or a family member concerned about how a loved one’s wishes were handled, we help clients understand their rights, evaluate their options, and take action when necessary.
Trustee Misconduct or Breach of Duty
Trustees have a legal duty to act in the best interests of the beneficiaries and follow the terms of the trust. When a trustee is mismanaging assets, withholding information, favoring certain people, or failing to do their job properly, we help clients protect the trust and hold the trustee accountable.
Contested Wills or Trusts
Not every estate plan reflects a person’s true wishes. We help clients challenge or defend wills and trusts when there are serious concerns about validity, fairness, execution, or outside interference.
Elder Abuse and Undue Influence Claims
When an older adult has been pressured, manipulated, isolated, or taken advantage of, the consequences can affect an entire family. We help investigate whether someone improperly influenced a loved one’s decisions and pursue the legal remedies available.
Disinherited Family Disputes
Being left out of a will or trust can raise difficult questions, especially when the outcome feels unexpected or suspicious. We help clients assess whether the disinheritance is legally enforceable and whether there are grounds to challenge the circumstances behind it.
Beneficiary Rights
Beneficiaries have the right to certain information, transparency, and proper administration of the trust or estate. If you are being ignored, denied updates, or kept in the dark, we help you understand what you are entitled to and what can be done to enforce those rights.
Trust Interpretation Issues
Sometimes the conflict is not about wrongdoing, but about unclear language or competing interpretations of what a trust actually requires. We help clients resolve disputes over meaning, intent, administration, and distribution so the matter can move forward with clarity.
Our approach
Litigation is emotional and deeply personal. I advise with empathy, backed by legal perseverance. You'll always know where your case stands, and you'll never be left in the dark. This is your case and your family. My role is to take you by the hand and guide you out of this difficult place with clarity and care.
