PRACTICE AREAS

Estate Litigation

Howard, Stallings, From & Hutson, P.A.'s estate litigation practice is broad-based and encompasses every aspect of litigation pertaining to wills, trusts and estates, and guardianships, including without limitation, will disputes, claims of breach of fiduciary duty and misappropriation of entrusted property. With over twenty years of litigation experience, our estate litigation attorneys aggressively and sensitively represent our clients (whether it be the estate or the individual) in complex estate litigation matters which are often difficult and trying times for our clients and their loved ones.

Estate litigation is a serious legal matter. The distribution of a deceased loved one's estate can be a complex and difficult process. There is a variety of grounds upon which wills and trusts can be contested. If involved parties believe their rights have been disregarded during the administration process, fiduciaries and administrators can have their performance challenged and beneficiaries can sue for increased inheritances including a spouse's right of election. Serious matters require the legal assistance of a skilled attorney to prosecute or defend against these claims.
