Despite all the careful planning which may have been done or the prudent administration of an estate or trust, quite often a fiduciary or a beneficiary simply must resort to the Courts. Our attorneys have developed one of the most well respected estate litigation practices in Western New York. In fact, our attorneys have extensively lectured for both the local and state Bar Associations on a variety of topics in this area. This is a highly specialized practice for which many general practice attorneys do not have the expertise, experience or capacity to handle these complex matters.
While the goal of this practice area is to keep the matter out of Courts, our attorneys are ready to do whatever is necessary to protect the integrity of the client’s plan or to challenge, on behalf of a beneficiary a plan which is being frustrated. Our office has handled many of the high profile estate litigation in Monroe County. We know when to settle, when to mediate and when to simply let the Courts decide the matter.
