New York City Estate Litigation Attorney

The goal of estate planning and testamentary documents is to develop a mechanism for what should happen to an estate after the passing of the subject and to do so in a way that avoids conflict or uncertainty during probate. Even the most developed estate plans can be vulnerable to legal issues. When a beneficiary is concerned that an estate has been compromised, he or she has the right to take legal action. When an Executor or Administrator faces legal action regarding their position, it is important to have a law firm to defend them. Many of these issues require court intervention and our firm is ready. Zimmet Law Group, P.C. recognizes the significance of these legal matters to our clients. We provide the legal services clients need and the personal attention they deserve. To schedule a consultation with one of our experienced estate litigation attorneys, contact Zimmet Law Group, P.C.

Contesting wills and trusts

One of the most common causes of litigation is the challenge of a will or trust. For many, these testamentary documents are the keystone of an estate. Uncertainty regarding the validity of these documents can drive a beneficiary to take legal action. Whether they need to preserve the integrity of the estate or protect their interests in an estate, challenging a will or trust is a legal issue that deserves the attention of a seasoned estate law attorney. Some reasons to challenge a will include, but are not limited to:

  • Undue influence
  • Lack of capacity
  • Invalid execution
  • Fraudulence or forgery
