Estate Planning

Litigating Trusts and Estates Matters

By Jennifer Sawday

One of the skills that has become invaluable in the estate planning/wills/trusts and probate practice area is the ability to handle a litigation matter when it arises. This is when someone disagrees with how an estate is being handled (either through a trust or probate proceeding) or feels that they are entitled to a portion of an estate or for a myriad of other reasons.

Tredway, Lumsdaine & Doyle, LLP, attorneys are very experienced in handling litigation matters in trusts and estates matters.

We have four attorneys who handle routine estate planning matters for clients. We have three attorneys who handle routine probate matters for clients. We have seven litigation attorneys who routinely handle litigation matters as it relates to trusts and estates.

Typically, a client who has a litigation matter will consult with the appropriate practice area attorney (estate planning or probate) and then once the client retains the firm, a team approach is used to put together the best attorneys for the matter that is most cost effective and follows the desired litigation strategy for our clients.
