Estate Litigation Attorney Troy

Estate Litigation Services & Dispute Resolution in Troy

Estate litigation in Troy covers a range of situations where family members, beneficiaries, or others raise concerns about an estate’s administration or the terms of legal documents. Our estate litigation lawyers navigate court requirements, statutory deadlines, and detailed filings required by Michigan probate law. We represent clients in matters including:

• Disputes involving wills or trusts
• Claims of undue influence or lack of capacity
• Concerns about executor or trustee conduct
• Asset distribution disagreements among heirs
• Contesting the interpretation of estate documents

The probate court in Oakland County, where Troy is located, enforces strict rules for estate disputes. Our familiarity with these procedures helps you stay ahead of deadlines and avoid unnecessary delays. We communicate what documents you will need, how the local process works, and when to anticipate hearings or negotiations.

We assist clients facing unique family circumstances, blended families, or when distant relatives are involved. No two cases are the same, and we take time to ensure you understand both immediate options and long-term implications. Throughout, we aim for practical, timely solutions—whether by negotiating outside court or when, if necessary, pursuing resolution in front of a judge.
