Estate Litigation:
Protecting Your Legacy,
Resolving Disputes
Navigating Estate Litigation
Estate litigation can be an emotionally charged and complex process, particularly when disputes arise over wills, trusts, or the distribution of assets. For families and individuals, these conflicts can be overwhelming, often involving deep personal ties and significant financial stakes. We work diligently to protect your rights and ensure that the intentions of the deceased are respected, while also striving to resolve disputes efficiently and with as little stress as possible.
Estate Litigation That Protects Your Legacy
Estate litigation involves a range of complex legal issues, from disputes over wills and trusts to concerns about the actions of executors and trustees. Navigating these matters requires not only a deep understanding of the law but also a compassionate approach to the sensitive nature of these disputes. Our estate litigation services are designed to protect your rights and interests, whether you're challenging a will, seeking to address potential fraud, or ensuring that a loved one's wishes are respected. Below, we explore the key areas of estate litigation we specialize in.
Will Challenges - Will challenges involve disputing the validity of a will, which requires careful legal examination and evidence to prove that the will does not accurately reflect the true intention of the deceased.
Passing of Accounts - Estate accounting ensures that the financial management of an estate is conducted transparently and accurately. This process involves reviewing the actions of executors or trustees to verify that they have managed the estate's assets appropriately.
Breach of Fiduciary Duty- This arises when a personal representative or trustee - who must uphold fiduciary duties of honesty, prudence, and loyalty to the beneficiaries - breaches their fiduciary duty.
Estate and Trustee Removal - When an executor or trustee fails in their duties, whether through misconduct, negligence, or mismanagement, the removal of that individual may be necessary. Estate and trustee removal litigation seeks to protect the estate and its beneficiaries by appointing a more suitable individual to manage the estate's affairs, thereby safeguarding the assets and ensuring proper administration.

My experience with M E Law was nothing short of incredible. After searching, I found about 20 lawyer involved in estate litigation. They all set up appointments for over a month. Some didn't even respond. M E Law called me back the same night and was exceptional. Their fees were generally a tad less than others. While they did their best to accommodate me. From there they were extremely diligent in my case. At the end not only did they win my case. However their efficiency kept it to a cost less than I thought. They were during the whole experience caring and trustworthy. When you think about it. When have you ever had an experience like that anywhere with another lawyer. I never have. Choosing M E Law was the best thing I can ever do. If you are looking for a lawyer. Do yourself a favor call M E Law. You will not regret it. Bobby..one extremely happy client

I am a passionate entrepreneur, visionary, and risk-taker. I have a number of successful businesses but, unfortunately, I got into a very serious problem with one of the creditors when things did not go according to plan. Regardless of all my good efforts to resolve it amicably, things spiraled out of my control. It could have ruined my other businesses on which my livelihood depends. I contacted another lawyer before May, and shockingly that lawyer didn’t even know what he was doing. Once litigation begins—asset freezes, etc.—even for professionals like myself, the Superior Court process can be intense and stressful. You really need a good lawyer. May did her very best and resolved it in the most effective manner possible. She works hard for her corporate clients, is candid, efficient, and always plans ahead. I will definitely use May for my future legal needs.

May literally saved my life after I was about to lose my home. She worked very hard negotiating with other party's lawyer and also provided me with options on how to resolve my case that I didn’t even think of.

Contractor
I am a very busy contractor, especially during the summer months. I also have my own real estate lawyer that I used to consult with before but, unfortunately, I came across a situation where I had to hire an actual Litigator as I got into a really weird situation with one of my former clients. To say the least it was a very unpleasant and very stressful experience for me, to the point where I almost started getting panic attacks as I never came across anything like that before. In any event, from the very first moment working with ME Law, they demonstrated a very professional approach and respect to us, in both taking us as new clients and working through the case. They thoroughly investigated what really had happened, collected all the evidence and almost built up a full scale court case to start the resolution process... so, thankfully, it is all over now! But my afterthoughts: it is always important to hire an experienced lawyer who totally acts on your side, understands how to handle such issues and really fights for you to the very end rather than creating additional risks to your business.

My case is still ongoing (as it was taken by insurance company lawyers now) but I definitely want to say big thanks to May after she started working with me regarding this totally vexatious litigation case brought against me. All in all, May has always shown me the greatest sense of respect, she would literally return your calls or emails almost within an hour or two, if not immediately, if she was available. She is a great professional and a very nice person to deal with.

I knew May long before she became a lawyer but hadn’t kept in touch. My partner and I got into a legal dispute with his sister over estate property. Thankfully, May hadn’t changed—she did a terrific job helping us avoid a costly lawsuit. She told us there was no way to prevent the partition, but came up with a great strategy and negotiated the fees. We ended up buying out the property for a quarter of its total value.
