Aggressive Representation for Will and Probate Contests
With or without a will, disputes can arise among family members following the death of a loved one. Legal complexities combine with emotional elements as close relatives are pitted against each other. Claims of undue influence, fiscal mismanagement and outright fraud can tear a family apart during an already difficult time.
Since 1950, the attorneys at Pearlman, Apat, Futterman, Sirotkin & Seinfeld, LLP, have represented clients in probate court challenging the provisions of a will or those fighting accusations regarding the validity of the document. While issues are highly personal, you need an experienced estate litigation attorney at your side.
New York Lawyers Ready to Litigate Will Contests/Contested Probate Claims
Many children pull together after the death of a parent. Others are pulled apart, lobbing accusations of coercion. They allege that their mother or father unwittingly signed a document that impacted their inheritance. The person selected as the executor to disperse the estate comes under scrutiny when that personal representative fails to comply with the intent of the will.
Bringing us into the dispute allows us to review the validity of the dispute and to determine if you have a viable case. From there, we implement various strategies, including the chance to resolve matters out of court. However, we do not shy away from the courtroom if that is in the best interests of our clients and consistent with the intent of the will.
