If you have been treated unfairly under a will or an intestacy, you may have an estate litigation claim. Similarly, if you have witnessed a relative fall victim to improper behaviour surrounding their estate, he/she or his/her executor may require legal assistance.
A complex area of law, estate litigation often has the dual distinction of being financially driven and emotionally charged. Estate litigators require a unique skill set that combines dexterity in mediation and negotiation along with a meticulous understanding of estate law and family dynamics.
