Contested Estates - Disputes and Litigation

 

Our goal is to ensure fairness and help our clients feel back in control of what’s happening.

Disagreements over the estate or trust process can lead to a situation known as a contested estate.

 

Perhaps the executor in charge of the will has been acting suspiciously or withholding information. Or maybe family members are fighting over property or over what to do about a particular asset.

 

Pedestal Legal firm can help you deal with the contested probate peacefully, if possible, or leverage powerful negotiation and litigation strategies, if necessary.

 

We can fight to prevent a wrongdoer from trying to convince the probate court to accept a fraudulent will, take advantage of the estate, flout the deceased’s wishes, or unfairly take or misappropriate estate property.

 

Trust Administration

 

our loved one may have established a trust.

This is a legal agreement to hold and distribute property to beneficiaries, to protect those assets from probate and tax consequences, and to make transfers simpler after death.

 

After the person who made the trust dies, another person, known as the trustee, manages the trust and ensures that beneficiaries receive the assets in a proper manner in accordance with Georgia trust laws.

 

During this process, concerns can arise.

The trustee, for instance, may be unsure how to interpret a certain provision of the trust or may have trouble inventorying what’s in the trust, evaluating assets, or preparing key documents.

 

Our legal team can ensure excellent communication, compliance with Georgia law, and fair treatment for all beneficiaries while ensuring the trustee observes all fiduciary duties.
