Services We Provide
Inheritance Dispute Resolution
Inheritance recovery attorneys help clients resolve disputes arising from contested wills, trusts, or estate distributions. They analyze the legal documents, assess the validity of claims, and represent clients in negotiations, mediation, or court proceedings.
Will and Trust Contests
If you believe a will or trust is invalid due to fraud, undue influence, lack of capacity, or other factors, an inheritance recovery attorney can guide you through the process of contesting it. They will gather evidence, file necessary legal documents, and advocate for your interests in court.
Asset Tracing and Recovery
In cases where assets have been wrongfully transferred, hidden, or misappropriated, these attorneys employ strategies to trace and recover the assets on behalf of their clients. They may work with forensic accountants or investigators to uncover hidden or diverted wealth.
Probate Litigation
If disputes arise during the probate process, such as disagreements among beneficiaries or challenges to the executor’s actions, an inheritance recovery attorney can represent your interests in probate court. They will present arguments, file motions, and advocate for a fair distribution of assets.
Fiduciary Duty Claims
If an executor, trustee, or other fiduciary fails to fulfill their legal duties, an inheritance recovery attorney can help you bring a claim against them. They will investigate breaches of fiduciary duty, pursue legal remedies, and seek compensation for any losses incurred.
Estate Planning and Asset Protection
In addition to resolving inheritance disputes, some inheritance recovery attorneys also provide estate planning services. They can help clients create wills, trusts, and other estate planning documents to protect their assets and ensure a smooth transfer of wealth to beneficiaries.
