A trust and estate litigation attorney<\/a> resolves disputes over a will, a trust, or how an estate or trust is run. Most of these cases are handled in Florida courts, and many start long before a lawsuit is filed. If you’re an heir or beneficiary who believes a document is wrong or a fiduciary isn’t acting properly, this is the practice area that fits. Trust Counsel, PL concentrates in trust and estate disputes, and its only office is in Coral Gables.<\/p>\n

What Trust and Estate Litigation Covers and Who It Serves<\/h2>\n

Trust and estate litigation covers conflicts that arise after a will, trust, or estate is in place. It includes pre-suit work, such as demand letters, and court cases when those steps don’t solve the problem.<\/p>\n

Under Fla. Stat. \u00a7 736.1005<\/a>, any attorney who has rendered services to a trust may be awarded reasonable compensation from the trust.<\/p>\n

Estate planning and litigation are different jobs. An estate planning attorney helps clients gather and assess family and financial information before a problem exists. The ACTEC guidance on initial planning meetings<\/a> describes that first meeting and the confidential treatment of that information. A probate litigator steps in after a conflict already exists. That might be a challenge to a will, a claim against a personal representative (often called an executor), or a fight over who receives what.<\/p>\n

This page is written for adult children, spouses, siblings, and other beneficiaries. You may believe a will was signed under pressure, that a distribution is wrong, or that a fiduciary’s conduct is off. You may be acting for a parent or relative after a death or incapacity.<\/p>\n\n

\n

If a will or trust dispute landed on your desk without warning, you don't have to sort out the deadlines alone; talk with us in a confidential first consultation. Talk it through with Trust Counsel, PL — the first consultation is free, confidential, and carries no obligation.<\/p>
