Our Practice Areas
Estate and Trust Litigation
When disputes arise during a probate or trust administration, our skilled litigators are prepared to protect your interests. Estate and trust litigation can encompass a variety of conflicts, including:
- Breach of Fiduciary Duty: We represent beneficiaries and heirs in cases where executors, trustees, or personal representatives have failed to fulfill their duties responsibly.
- Undue Influence: If you suspect that a loved one was manipulated into changing their will or trust, our team can help investigate and contest these alterations.
- Fraudulent Activities: We provide legal remedies for cases involving forged documents, misappropriated assets, or other fraudulent actions.
Our trust litigation attorneys have experience with a wide range of probate and trust matters and will strive to achieve the best outcome for your case.
Will Contests
Contesting a will can be a sensitive and emotionally charged process. At Reuter Corbett, we approach each case with empathy and a commitment to justice. Grounds for contesting a will may include:
- Lack of Capacity: If the deceased was not of sound mind when creating or modifying their will, we can help you challenge its validity.
- Undue Influence: We investigate situations where someone may have exerted excessive influence over the decedent, leading to unfair or uncharacteristic changes to their will.
- Improper Execution: Wills must meet strict legal standards. If a will was not executed properly, we can argue for its invalidation.
Our goal is to ensure that your loved one’s true intentions are respected and that the estate is distributed fairly, giving your family peace of mind.
Elder Abuse
Elder abuse is a serious and often underreported issue that can take many forms, including physical, emotional, and financial exploitation or neglect. At Reuter Corbett, we diligently protect the rights of seniors and hold abusers accountable. Our services include:
- Investigation: We conduct thorough investigations to gather evidence of abuse or neglect.
- Legal Action: Our attorneys take decisive legal action to stop the abuse and seek justice for the victims.
- Protective Orders: We help obtain protective orders to ensure the safety and well-being of elderly individuals.
If you believe that an elderly loved one is being abused or neglected, act quickly. Our legal team is here to provide the advocacy needed to protect them.
Probate and Trust Administration
Probate and trust administration involves managing and distributing a deceased person's estate. At Reuter Corbett, our estate lawyers assist executors and trustees in fulfilling their responsibilities accurately and efficiently. Our services include:
- Appointment: We work with you to file appropriate documentation with the Court to have you appointed as the Executor / Personal Representative of your loved-one’s estate.
- Estate Inventory: We help compile a thorough inventory of the deceased’s assets, including real estate, bank accounts, investments, and personal property.
- Debt Resolution: We ensure that all debts and estate taxes are paid, protecting the estate from future claims.
- Asset Distribution: We oversee the fair and legal distribution of assets, ensuring the decedent's wishes are honored and each beneficiary receives their inheritance.
With Reuter Corbett by your side, you can trust that every aspect of the probate and trust administration process will be handled with the utmost care and professionalism.
Guardianship / Conservatorship
Establishing guardianship or conservatorship can be essential when a loved one is no longer able to make decisions for themselves. At Reuter Corbett, we provide compassionate and respectful assistance in these legal matters. Our services include:
- Petitioning for Guardianship / Conservatorship: We guide you through the legal process of petitioning the court to appoint a guardian or conservator for your loved one.
- Representation in Court: Our attorneys represent you in court hearings, where we present evidence and advocate for the best interests of the incapacitated individual.
- Ongoing Legal Support: Once guardianship or conservatorship is established, we continue to provide legal support to ensure compliance with all legal requirements and the best care for your loved one.
We understand the sensitive nature of these cases and work diligently to protect the rights and well-being of those who are most vulnerable.
