Trusts, Estates and Fiduciary Litigation
35 partners, 11 other fee earners in the USA
Holland & Knight's Trusts, Estates and Fiduciary Litigation Team is composed of seasoned trial lawyers who practice before state and federal courts, including probate and tax courts. We handle all types of trust and estate litigation, including will contests, breaches of fiduciary duty, removal of trustees, reformation of instruments, elder abuse, and other contests based on allegations of lack of capacity and undue influence.
Hundreds of trials have taught us what positions win and lose in court. Our understanding of what influences favorable outcomes in litigation helps us proactively resolve disputes and reduce the risks of lawsuits for clients who consult us in the review and planning processes.
Fiduciaries also retain us to review their best practices and policies to avoid litigation. We measure their practices against our own litigation experience as well as national standards. Attention to the latest case law and best practices, appropriate planning and periodic review are the most effective ways for clients to reduce their exposure to expensive litigation.
