Probate, Trust Administration and Litigation - Our probate, administration and litigation team helps individuals identify and manage potential risks and pursue appropriate resolutions based upon the circumstances.

Probate is a court action to validate a will or identify heirs if a decedent passes without a will and involves appointment of a person as personal representative to carry out the deceased person’s wishes. Trust Administration occurs on the incapacity or death of the person who created the trust. Trust administration typically does not involve court. The trustee of a trust is responsible for investment and distribution decisions as well as payment of creditors. Sometimes probate or trust administration does not go well and parties litigate questions in court.
