Probate and Trust Litigation

The death of a family member can give rise to difficult and complex issues. As a result, handling probate and trust litigation requires special expertise. GH&R lawyers have the experience to represent fiduciaries, personal representatives, beneficiaries and interested third parties in litigation involving probate and trust matters, such as will contests, trust accountings, estate tax litigation and other fiduciary litigation.

When it becomes necessary to call on the assistance of the courts to solve probate and trust problems, GH&R attorneys know how to use judicial resources effectively and efficiently. GH&R litigation attorneys work as a team with our estate and trust attorneys to achieve the desired outcome of such litigation. We also provide expert assistance to trustees who seek court approval of their actions, or the interpretation and enforcement of trust provisions.

At GH&R, we know that probate and trust issues involve more than money; these matters involve emotional issues that too often divide families. For that reason, we attempt to find creative solutions to probate and trust issues that may avoid protracted litigation and preserve family relationships. When necessary, however, we use our expertise to protect and vigorously advance our clients' interests in specialized probate and trust adversarial proceedings.
