Orlando Probate Litigation Attorneys
Will Contests ◊ Beneficiary Rights ◊ Spouses' Right of Election
The Orlando, Florida probate litigation attorneys at the law firm Griffin & Linder, P.A. have handled a great deal of probate litigation over the years. We understand how important it is for an individual's peace of mind to know that final directives will be honored and assets will be distributed according to one's wishes.
Unfortunately, however, sometimes the lack of a will, or deficient estate planning, may lead to probate litigation such as will contests. Whether by way of prevention, or in an order to challenge improprieties during the process of estate administration, the Florida probate litigation attorneys of Griffin & Linder encourage you to contact our Florida probate litigation law firm for a free consultation.
Divorces, remarriages, and business partnerships or other entanglements may result in volatile situations during the process of estate administration. The assistance of a qualified Florida will contest lawyer may be invaluable to ensure that the spirit of the decedent's final wishes is, in fact, fulfilled.
Representing Plaintiffs and Defendants in Will Contests
Our Florida probate trial lawyers know from experience that wills are sometimes flawed, trusts sometimes leave some assets unaccounted for, and inadequate business succession plans sometimes result in strife among heirs or beneficiaries. The legacy of the deceased is unfortunately sometimes marred by allegations of undue influence, or executor mismanagement during probate administration.
In addition to will contests, the firm has handled claims involving maladministration of estates and trusts which have resulted in final judgments imposing liability on personal representatives and trustees. In addition, the firm has handled legal malpractice claims arising from negligence in representing personal representatives.
In Pursuit of Cost-Effective Resolutions
When beneficiary rights negotiations can resolve a will contest or bring an end to allegations of breach of fiduciary duty or trust mismanagement peacefully, our Florida will contest lawyers are eager to bring about a prompt and satisfactory outcome in this way. However, when the stakes are high and severe wrongdoing is alleged, we encourage our clients to challenge a will or trust.
