No two estates are the same. When creating an estate plan, we examine all assets involved and talk to clients to determine the goals the estate plan should achieve. From there, we draw on our considerable knowledge and experience to customize an estate plan that will direct your assets to your intended beneficiaries with minimal court interference and tax implications.
Ensuring clients’ rights and interests are protected with estate litigation
In New York, every will must go through the probate process to ensure its validity and to pay the necessary estate taxes and expenses through the Surrogate Court. At this time, potential beneficiaries may contest the will in estate litigation. We are prepared to argue your case to obtain what is rightfully yours, as truly decided by your lost loved one.
D’Oro Law regularly represents clients in challenging wills, trusts or fiduciary responsibilities to be carried out by the estate’s executor. The firm is prepared to represent you in any of the following estate litigation matters:
- Will contests
- Trust litigation
- Fiduciary litigation
- Fiduciary removal
Estate litigation in particular is very tense and can be extremely hostile. It is important to retain a lawyer who whose first priority is to work toward achieving a beneficial result for you without creating additional family tension. Our experience has afforded us the knowledge of the law, strategy, and the importance of reducing any potential financial expense and emotional damage, because it is simply the right thing to do for you and your family.
