We act in estate litigation involving challenges to will validity based on lack of capacity, undue influence or fraud; dependant support claims; passing of accounts; breach of fiduciary duty claims; disputes involving attorneys for property and personal care; and conflicts among beneficiaries, trustees, executors and family members.
Estate litigation and corporate litigation are often tightly connected. In entrepreneurial families and owner-managed businesses, disputes over wills, trusts, estates, fiduciary duties and control of assets frequently intersect with shareholder rights, corporate governance, oppression claims, partnership issues and the future ownership of a business. Our strength in both areas allows us to see the full picture and pursue strategies that protect not only legal entitlements, but also business value, control and continuity.
