Assisting clients with Estate & Trust Disputes throughout Western New York
Losing a close family member or any other loved one is never easy. Unfortunately, it is all too common for disputes to arise regarding how the deceased person’s property and assets will be handled in the wake of his or her death. Wealth transfer and property distribution problems can arise for many reasons.
For wealth and property disputes in Western New York, we can help resolve those conflicts.
Can I contest a Will?
Was the person who signed the Will not competent to do so, or unduly influenced in the choice of beneficiaries and asset dispositions? If so, you may have a case.
Property distribution upon the death of a loved one can be straightforward based on the clear terms of a Will or Trust, and the beneficiary designations for life insurance and retirement accounts. But instead of an uncontested estate, disappointed family members, potential heirs, or creditors may question unexpected and unexplained beneficiary designations, wealth transfers, or the suspicious circumstances under which a decedent signed critical documents.
MCCM’s estate and trust litigation team has successfully resolved dozens of cases both in and out of court because of our thorough factual investigation and deep knowledge of the legal principles to be applied to each unique situation. Our goal in every case is to obtain and provide for our clients a clear understanding of “what happened and why”, followed by a fair and just resolution.
