Hall, Bloch, Garland & Meyer has over 120 years of legal experience in dealing with probate administration and probate litigation. We can provide legal counsel to our clients in settling estates and contested probate issues. The firm can assist executors of an estate in carrying out probate and estate administration duties, such as necessary notifications, payments of debts and estate taxes, inventory, and distribution of assets. We work to administer the estate diligently so that the estate can be closed and the family can move forward.
Whenever feasible, we attempt to direct probate disputes into mediation, where a quick and fair resolution can usually be achieved with the least amount of hostility. However, when courtroom litigation is required, our attorneys are highly experienced in representing the interests of our clients.
We have successfully represented clients in will contests, trust contests, competency issues, undue influence, and breach of fiduciary duty matters. We can also challenge or defend expenses claimed by an executor or trust administrator.
If you object to the trust accounting by a family member, wish to contest a will in probate court, or require representation in probate litigation, our firm offers highly skilled representation in these areas. Our firm also has considerable experience pursuing and defending cases involving the financial abuse of the elderly. While many probate attorneys refer their clients to another firm if a probate matter needs to proceed to litigation in court, our firm has numerous attorneys experienced in probate litigation who can represent you throughout the whole process.
Our firm has a long and successful record of obtaining resolutions to probate disputes in a timely and cost-effective manner.
