Probate Litigation

In many probate matters, litigation can be avoided through proactive estate administration and alternative dispute resolution. Our firm also assists clients with non-litigation probate services, including probate administration, trust administration, estate planning, and fiduciary support. We guide executors and trustees through their duties to ensure compliance and reduce the risk of disputes. When conflicts do arise, we encourage clients to consider mediation and other alternative dispute resolution methods as cost-effective, less adversarial options as probate litigation can become complex and emotionally charged.

Our probate litigation practice covers a wide range of disputes, including will contests, trust disputes, challenges to fiduciaries or executors, claims for undue influence or fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and disputes over estate administration. We represent clients in both contested and uncontested matters, ensuring that estate assets are preserved and properly distributed in accordance with the law and the decedent’s wishes.

Understanding the sensitive nature of probate disputes, we strive to resolve conflicts efficiently, whether through negotiation, mediation, or trial. Our attorneys work closely with clients to develop tailored strategies that address both the legal and personal complexities involved, helping to minimize delay, expense, and family discord. At Annesser Armenteros, we provide experienced probate litigation counsel dedicated to achieving fair and lasting resolutions.
