Safeguarding a Minor’s Inheritance Rights
In a complex estate litigation matter, ME Law successfully represented a minor whose inheritance rights were at risk due to two conflicting wills. One version named the minor as a beneficiary; the other excluded them entirely. Through strategic mediation and persistent advocacy, ME Law secured a fair settlement that reinstated the minor’s entitlement to the estate. The resolution was later approved by the court, confirming that the settlement served the best interests of the child and reinforcing ME Law’s commitment to protecting vulnerable clients.
