Probate litigation is an unfortunate fact of contemporary life. Family dynamics often drive many fiduciary disputes. Relationships, within families, particularly when substantial multigenerational wealth is involved, are often emotionally charged. When these factors are exacerbated by the passing of a family member, the result is frequently contention, and litigation. The attorneys of Rosen Hagood have established a reputation as the firm to whom clients turn when these matters arise.
We have represented clients in a diverse range of scenarios: claims of undue influence, lack of testamentary capacity, interference with inheritance and contract, unjust enrichment, breach of fiduciary obligations, self-dealing, and conflicts of interest against executors, agents, and trustees. We have dealt with tax and other litigation, including closely held business disputes, family-owned business succession challenges, valuation disputes, and income and estate tax conflicts.
When circumstances require us to fight, we fight hard, and we fight to win. Success in adversarial proceedings is not the result of bravado, aggression, or theatrics. It’s the result of exhaustive preparation, experience, and a precise strategy that’s informed by that experience. Litigation usually is a series of hundreds of small events that occur over a period of time. The best strategy for you to prevail in the end is by prevailing in each of these steps along the way, one at a time.
