Litigation In Trust And Probate Matters
The attorneys at Anastasi & Nielsen have spent their entire legal careers working hard to help people with matters related to estate planning and the administration of estates. In some situations, there are disputes that prevent things from going according to plan. If you find yourself in such a situation, you need an experienced attorney to protect your interests. Our lawyers have helped with many different types of litigation associated with estate planning and administration.
Trust Litigation
Trust litigation can be either an attack on a trust or the defense of a trust. Anastasi & Nielsen can handle representing either a trustee or a beneficiary in trust litigation which includes: challenges to the validity of trusts, interpretations of trust provisions, removal of a trustee, demand of an accountant, or a breach of trust.
Trustees are represented in regard to their fiduciary duties under the trust, including defending trustee actions and enforcing claims on behalf of the trust. Beneficiaries need representation to assert their rights under the trust, and sometimes to correct wrongful actions by a trustee.
Some disputes end up in court, but many can be resolved through alternative dispute resolution. At Anastasi & Nielsen, we can help guide you to the most efficient method of resolving a trust dispute.
Probate Litigation
Probate litigation often comes down to a challenge of the will based on fraud, lack of capacity, or undue influence. Sometimes it is necessary to assert or defend claims on the estate. These challenges often add to the time and expenses associated with probate and can place a severe financial strain upon the family.
