Probate and Administration Services:
We represent family members and estates when someone passes away with or without a Last Will and Testament.
Our clients' estates are sometimes sued by creditors or even family members and others who seek to overturn a will or trust. We provide defenses in such cases. In some rare examples, we will also represent a family whose loved one has been the victim of undue influence.
