Probate & Trust Litigation
Probate & Trust Litigation Overview
Even the best laid plans can go awry. When that happens in the aftermath of the death of a loved one, the attorneys at Minerley Fein, P.A. are ready and capable of responding. Money often brings out the worst in people, and when mom or dad are no longer around, fights over their estates and assets can quickly and easily erupt. Loving family members become bitter enemies. Whether it is the overreaching of a greedy beneficiary, an improperly executed document, or a creditor seeking to take away a family's modest inheritance, estate disputes require an attorney with an understanding of the estate and trust laws and the capability of a litigator, to guide the client to a successful resolution whether through settlement or trial.
