Resolving Disputes During the Administration Process

As a New Jersey will contests lawyer, I have extensive experience representing clients struggling with a conflict over a loved one's estate.

When executors probate a will or trustees manage a trust, the goal is prompt and orderly distribution. When disputes arise, they call for prompt and orderly resolution. When you work with me, you can be confident knowing that I will keep you informed during every step of the estate litigation process. It is my job to help you make important decisions to protect your interests and the interests of the estate.

I am certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a civil trial attorney and I bring decades of trial experience to every matter I handle. I provide effective representation in disputes involving:

  • Challenges to the validity of a will: There are many circumstances in which a will may be invalidated. The decedent may have been victim to undue influence by a relative or close friend. The will may also have been improperly executed or created. I will help you challenge or defend the validity of a will.
  • Claims of abuse of fiduciary duty: If you are suspicious that an estate or trust has been mismanaged, such as by embezzlement or mismanagement of funds, I will assist you in having the funds reimbursed or the person removed from a position of power.
  • Conflicts over an executor or trustee's performance with estate details that were not included in a will, such as personal effects
  • Claims by omitted beneficiaries or heirs
  • Creditor claims of unpaid debts
