Estate & Trust Litigation

We Fight for your rights

There's already a serious dispute or you expect to be in court soon. Someone is challenging the will, the executor, or how the estate is being handled.

Our approach

We prepare every case for trial giving maximum leverage for settlement. If settlement fails, we're ready for court. We know the judges, courts and the specificities of the Georgia Probate Law from 16 years in the field.

Common disputes we handle
Estate Litigation
  • Someone refusing to share estate information
  • Someone taking or destroying estate property
  • Fraudulent will being presented
  • Valid will being challenged
  • Executor not doing their job or acting unfairly
Trust Litigation
  • Trustee won't communicate with beneficiaries
  • Suspicious reports or missing property
  • Distributions stopped without explanation
  • Trustee favoring some beneficiaries over others
  • Breach of fiduciary duty

Act quickly: The longer wrongdoers stay in power, the more property can disappear.
