An Aggressive Litigator In Probate Disputes

When a decedent leaves no will, or when their will does not adequately address all the issues that can come up after their death, legal disputes can arise over the fate of their estate. Some common disputes include:

  • Challenging the validity of a will
  • Challenging how the executor of a will carries out their duties
  • Attempting to remove the executor of a will or administrator of an estate
  • Contested administration or probate proceedings
  • Challenging the sale of property belonging to the estate as a forced sale

In such cases, it is crucial to have an experienced probate litigation attorney on your side. Attorney Patterson will help you assess the strength of your claim to any assets and will work with you to craft and execute a litigation strategy designed to ensure that your interests are reflected in probate proceedings and your loved one's estate passes on to the proper parties.
