Estate Litigation

Our litigation lawyers have a broad range of experience in estate litigation and related matters.  We understand the unique challenges associated with estate litigation, particularly when it concerns disputes between family members.  Our primary goal is to resolve matters quickly and efficiently with the least amount of conflict. 

We advise estate trustees, executors, administrators and/or beneficiaries regarding all litigious or potentially litigious matters relating to estates including: 

  • validity of wills
  • intestacy (no will)
  • powers of attorney 
  • dependant relief applications 
  • trust related disputes 
  • valuing estate assets 
  • appointment or removal of guardians

 

While we strive to settle disputes through negotiation, we have significant trial experience in the event that matters cannot be resolved.
