Probate and Trust Litigation:
Probate litigation is necessary when the court is required to assist in the transfer of property from the deceased person, also known as the “decedent,” to the decedent’s heirs and beneficiaries.
Sometimes, there are disputes over who should receive the decedent’s property. These disputes can come in the form of will contests or trust challenges, which occur when wills or trusts are executed despite breaches of fiduciary duties, such as undue influence or forgery. In other cases, it can result from an improper transfer of property from the trust or estate.
Additionally, a person may lose their mental capacity and no longer have the ability to govern their own affairs. When this happens, a conservator can be appointed to help them manage their legal and financial decisions.
In all of the above cases, it is helpful to have courtroom lawyers working with you to make sure your case proceeds toward a final resolution. The lawyers at Sharif | Faust Lawyers are experienced trial lawyers, ready to represent you.
