Probate Litigation in New Jersey

Is your family fighting? You may be embarrassed to say “yes”. We understand.

Don't think it's limited to just you and yours... it's everywhere. Sad but true.

Maybe you're a beneficiary who’s getting the runaround from an executor, trustee or personal representative. They don't answer your calls, letters or worse, haven't sent you your money.

You may be embarrassed but you know you need help and you need the help of an experienced probate and estate attorney who knows estate, trust and probate law. You also need a tough estate & trust litigator to deal with difficult family members or an unreasonable executor/trustee, or creditor.

Will and Trust Contests

It's an old tale. Ever since the ancient laws of primogeniture (eldest son gets it all) were swept away by the personal right to make a will, heirs have objected to even the best made wills and trusts. Conflicts can arise before or during the administration of an estate or a trust.

Probate Litigation Lawyers Assist in Will Contests

The fact that a person leaves a will does not guarantee that property will be distributed according to the expressed terms in the will. A court generally must provide an opportunity to allow others to object to the will, and a challenge may be brought by anyone who feels the will is inaccurate or invalid in some way. These types of cases are difficult and emotionally charged, so it's important to find an attorney with whom you feel comfortable and who is knowledgeable about such proceedings. The probate litigation attorneys at Hanlon Niemann are just the attorneys you need.
