Probate Litigation
B&M has extensive experience representing individuals, professional fiduciaries, and beneficiaries in all aspects of probate litigation, including:
- Will and trust contests;
- Disputes over the accounting of trust assets;
- Reformation of trusts;
- Actions for breach of fiduciary duties;
- Guardianships;
- Fiduciary accountings;
- Petitions for partition of real property; and
- Interpretation of wills and trusts.
B&M understands that probate litigation often involves difficult and highly emotionally charged circumstances. Our trial team has the expertise to thoroughly and thoughtfully evaluate these cases in a compassionate manner and render sound legal advice with the goal of prompt and economical resolution. Frequently, litigation among family members lends itself to resolution outside of the court system. B&M attorneys have the ability to discern when mediation or arbitration are in our client's best interests, and we are experienced in working with alternative dispute resolution providers to obtain successful results for our clients.
Our representative cases include:
- Probate court victory establishing constructive trust of bank accounts in favor of our clients against a sibling who sought 100% ownership.
