Wills and estates disputes can be legally complicated and emotionally charged.

We advise those responsible for the administration of estates, and beneficiaries of estates. The issues that we deal with include determining the validity of wills, challenges to the fairness of wills, and possible undue influence upon the person making a will. We also advise upon issues of compensation to executors and administrators for their work in administering estates.

Successfully resolving these disputes requires that a lawyer exercise sound judgment to determine when and how legal skills are applied. Our approach to dealing with these disputes is based upon careful consideration of the legal problems involved. We always seek and encourage early and cost-effective settlement.

We do not draft wills or do estate planning.

Lawyers dealing in this area of practice are William G. MacLeod and Colleen Selby.
