Resolving Complex Estate Disputes with Integrity and Precision

At Robinson & Lawing, LLP, we provide strategic and experienced litigation support for disputes arising out of wills, trusts, and fiduciary relationships. Whether you are a beneficiary, fiduciary, or heir, our attorneys offer thoughtful representation in estate litigation, navigating family dynamics and contested proceedings with care, clarity, and an unwavering focus on our clients' best interests.

Comprehensive Representation in Estate and Trust Disputes

Our firm represents individuals, families, and fiduciaries in a wide range of estate and fiduciary-related disputes, including:

  • Will Contests – Litigating claims involving undue influence, fraud, lack of capacity, or improper execution of a will.
  • Trust Disputes – Addressing allegations of mismanagement, breach of fiduciary duty, or conflicting interpretations of trust terms.
  • Fiduciary Litigation – Representing executors, trustees, and administrators accused of misconduct or defending against such claims.
  • Estate or Trust Mismanagement – Pursuing or defending claims involving improper asset distribution, financial abuse, or self-dealing.
  • Beneficiary Rights – Enforcing the rights of beneficiaries to receive timely, full, and accurate distributions and accountings.

Whether the conflict involves high-value assets, blended families, or the need to remove a fiduciary, our team is prepared to guide you through every stage of litigation.

Trusted Guidance When the Stakes Are High

Disputes involving the death of a loved one or a family trust can be emotionally and financially taxing. We recognize the need for sensitivity, confidentiality, and efficiency. Our attorneys aim to preserve family relationships where possible while protecting our clients from loss, liability, or unfair treatment. We work to resolve matters outside the courtroom when feasible but are ready to pursue or defend litigation when necessary.

Mediation and Settlement Strategies

Because estate and fiduciary disputes are often personal in nature, we emphasize the value of skilled negotiation and mediation to resolve issues efficiently and preserve family assets. Our attorneys frequently resolve estate disputes through mediation, avoiding protracted court battles and the public airing of private family matters.
