Trust & Estate (Probate) Litigation

While most trusts and estates are administered smoothly, there are situations where conflicts arise. When the person in charge does not properly manage the trust or estate, it can lead to frustration, delays, and even litigation. In such cases, skilled legal representation is essential to protect both the fiduciary and the beneficiaries.

At TLD Law, our Trusts, Estates, Administration, and Litigation (TEAL) team is designed to handle litigation efficiently and effectively, ensuring that all parties involved receive the protection they deserve. We have extensive experience in handling complex trust and estate disputes and offer aggressive, solutions-oriented representation.

Trust Contests: Prosecution or defense of challenges to the validity of a trust.
Heggstad Petitions: Legal actions to transfer assets that were unintentionally left out of a trust.

Incredibly helpful and indispensable. I have referred so much business to this office. They helped with certifying my dad’s trust after his passing, setting up my own trust, assisting with the passing of my brother (who died without any estate planning in place), got my other brother and his wife set up with a trust, drew up the Power of Attorney and Health Care directive for my adult son, got my boyfriend set up with his trust.
