Stein Sperling estates and trusts attorneys value advanced planning when it comes to the intricacies of carrying out your wishes, or those of your loved ones, upon death. We carefully anticipate possible points of interpersonal and financial conflict through both the planning and administration processes. These can include issues of competency, undue influence in estate planning, or questionable changes to estate planning documents and dealing with post-death administrative matters.

When disputes arise, such as contesting a will, trust administration conflicts, or executor disputes, our estates and trusts attorneys work collaboratively with members of our firm’s experienced litigation team. We represent trustees, executors, and beneficiaries in probate and trust administration matters, addressing issues like trustee breach of fiduciary duty and estate planning disputes. We are prepared to initiate and defend you in claims involving the estate, trust, or guardianship. We also represent beneficiaries of estates and trusts in disputes with other beneficiaries or in claims of alleged breaches of fiduciary duty.
