Estate Litigation

New Milford, Connecticut, Estate Litigation Attorneys

Even the most carefully drafted will or trust may be disputed as it passes through probate or is administered by a trustee. People may feel they were shortchanged. They may charge that the decedent was improperly influenced during the estate planning process. Property itemized in a will and destined for a beneficiary may have disappeared. The number of scenarios is almost endless.

If you are contesting a will or trust or are opposing such a contest, contact an experienced estate litigation attorney to advise and act for you. At our New Milford, Connecticut, law firm, Guendelsberger, Collins, Henry & Guendelsberger, LLP, our attorneys have been handling estate and probate litigation since 1983. We offer sound advice and vigorous representation at any stage of estate litigation and have earned a reputation for results.

Handling all types of disputes over wills and trusts

Estate litigation can arise from a wide variety of circumstances. We have handled cases involving:

• Missing heirs
• Charges of undue influence
• Charges of incapacity
• Charges of theft or fraud
• Violation of trust requirements by a beneficiary
• Insolvency of an estate
• Eviction of an heir from property bequeathed to another heir
• Charges of breach of fiduciary duty

Matters such as these require both sensitivity and determination. Our lawyers have both. We are known for listening to clients carefully to learn their goals. Litigating a dispute over an estate is much more effective when the attorney and the client are working together to arrive at a solution. As trial lawyers, we prepare every case with the assumption that we will have to appear in court. This practice has served our clients well over the years.
