When administering a person’s estate in New Jersey, there are several issues that have the potential to lead to litigation. When these issues arise, addressing them promptly can often prevent situations from going from bad to worse. But, in some cases, going to court will be necessary. If you are facing a dispute involving probate or a loved one’s will or trust, a New Jersey estate litigation lawyer at Helmer, Conley & Kasselman, P.A. can help you achieve a favorable result quickly and with as little stress as possible.
In our estate litigation practice, we represent family members and others with regard to both enforcing and challenging the terms of wills and trusts. We also represent our clients in probate-related matters such as the removal of personal representatives and the distribution of estate assets under New Jersey’s intestate succession laws. The types of matters we handle include:
Probate is the formal judicial process for resolving a person’s final affairs in New Jersey. Disputes can arise in various contexts and at various stages of the probate process. We represent family members and others in litigation involving the distribution of assets, appointment and removal of personal representatives, and other probate matters.
Will contests involve disputes between family members and other interested parties seeking to challenge the enforceability of a decedent’s will. This includes efforts to invalidate wills in their entirety, challenges to particular will provisions, and disputes involving competing versions of a will.
Trust litigation frequently centers around the management and distribution of trust assets. We represent beneficiaries, trustees, creditors and other interested parties in disputes involving all types of revocable and irrevocable trusts.
The guardianship provisions in a person’s will are designed to ensure that his or her minor children will receive the care and upbringing they need and deserve. In litigation involving guardianship provisions, emotions often run high, and care must be taken to ensure that the child’s best interests are protected.
Personal representatives and trustees owe various fiduciary duties to the estate and the estate’s beneficiaries. When they fail to meet these duties, the costs can be substantial, and it will often be necessary to hire a New Jersey estate litigation lawyer to seek appropriate legal remedies.
