Litigation

Unfortunately, disputes among family members can and do occur during the administration of an estate. While the process can be highly charged and emotional, we can protect your interests in an inheritance while, at the same time, keeping in mind the emotional nature of the action.
Many civil litigators don’t possess the proper amount of experience to handle estate litigation issues properly. Tully Rinckey has experienced estate planning and elder law attorneys who know how important it is to protect your assets and your estate. Our lawyers have successfully litigated in a variety of will contests in Surrogate’s Court, as well as cases involving abuse of powers of attorneys and removal of executors and trustees. Our lawyers have substantial knowledge in estate planning and elder law and are prepared to handle these kinds of litigation issues.
If you find yourself involved in an estate dispute, do not hesitate to call us 24/7 at 518-218-7100.
