Litigation Related to Estates, Trusts, and Guardianships

If a trust, will, or guardianship requires litigation, an experienced attorney can be invaluable. When the decision arises, it is imperative that you trust only a highly experienced litigator to help you secure what you treasure most.

Revocable and Irrevocable Trust Litigation

Trust litigation becomes crucial when a revocable or irrevocable trust is suspected of being mishandled. A few factors can contribute to a need for trust litigation. 

  • Mismanagement of funds refers to a situation where the executor or trustee may have breached fiduciary responsibilities.
  • Undue influence typically involves a person coercing benefits from an individual who lacks mental ability, usually due to age or disability.
  • Misrepresentation of facts describes a situation where there is proof that someone knowingly deceived others about investing money into a trust or misrepresented facts about an estate.

If any of these might apply to your case, contact Voyant Legal. Our experienced litigators can help you take appropriate action.

Estate Litigation

Most adults recognize the importance of creating an estate plan before their passing, yet many people die without a will or trust in place. In such cases, beneficiaries find themselves navigating a complex legal process in the midst of grieving. Voyant Legal can help surviving family members with several estate litigation topics, including:

  • Contesting probate
  • Contested wills
  • Surviving spousal claims
  • Executor fee disputes
  • Removal of trustees when they breach their fiduciary responsibilities

Voyant Legal assists clients with all aspects of the guardianship process up to and including guardianship litigation. We advocate for clients regarding who deserves guardianship over a vulnerable individual, continually maintaining sensitivity and understanding during such difficult times.
