Trust and Estate Litigation

Trust and Estate Litigation at its best.

Occasionally, disputes arise among beneficiaries of trusts and estates, or between fiduciaries—such as trustees and personal representatives—and beneficiaries. Our experienced estate planning and probate attorneys will help to avoid or minimize the risk of such disputes through the use of careful planning and client counseling with regard to incapacity planning, estate planning, trust and probate administration, business succession planning and fiduciary duties and obligations.

However, in spite of careful planning, disputes can and do often arise. In the event of a dispute relating to a trust or estate, our attorneys will work with you to resolve the dispute in an efficient and respectful manner. If the dispute cannot be resolved, our attorneys are licensed in Minnesota and Wisconsin and have experience litigating cases in state and federal court, as well as experience with alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation and arbitration, and may assist you in cases involving the following issues:

  • Will Contests
  • Probate Disputes
  • Trust Disputes
  • Fiduciary Litigation
  • Exploitation of Vulnerable Adult
  • Business Succession Disputes
  • Trust and Estate Litigation
