Our Trust and Estate Litigation team has the background and experience to assist clients in all facets of trust and inheritance disputes that manifest themselves while managing the responsibilities of administration and transfer of private wealth. Conflicts within private wealth inheritance and trust administration occur even with the most carefully constructed estate plans. With the increasing breadth of such responsibilities today, disputes over alleged breaches in trustee relationships or the trustee’s administration are on the rise and often involve such diverse parties as investment advisers, officers, personal representatives, corporate trustees and others. This is where BakerHostetler addresses the sensitive issues that arise and provides appropriate advice and counsel built on years of practical experience.
Trust and estate litigation requires an in-depth knowledge of probate law, trusts, estates, fiduciary duties and related legal areas to address complex disputes. Our attorneys have significant experience in the courtroom and provide a deep understanding of the specific laws and procedures that apply to disputes over a family’s wealth. We can analyze and evaluate situations and propose solutions to resolve these disputes in an amicable manner, avoiding litigation when possible or addressing the situation before the court.
