Probate Litigation

Detroit Probate Lawyer

Will Contests · Trust Contests · Breach of Fiduciary Duty

Probate litigation is a complex and unique area of law. Attorneys at The Prince Law Firm in Farmington Hills, Michigan, focus on estate planning and probate. For that reason, our attorneys are exceptionally well prepared to represent a client involved in a dispute over the legitimacy of a will, trust, or power of attorney, the administration of an estate or trust, or the appointment of a guardian or conservator. Sometimes a dispute involves a fiduciary who disregards the terms of a document or the law; or it involves a family member who is mad because he or she didn’t get more or was passed over in favor of another for a position of responsibility; or maybe someone lacked the capacity to make a will or trust or was unduly influenced in doing so.  Quite simply, odds are that we’ve seen it – as the saying goes, “no thing new under the sun.” These areas are all supervised by the probate courts. If you have concerns about one of those areas or are involved in a dispute, contact our office and make arrangements to speak with one of our Detroit probate lawyers. During your free initial consultation the attorney will explain your options.

In many cases, our probate lawyers are able to help clients resolve disputes economically, quickly, and privately through alternative dispute resolution processes, including mediation and arbitration. However, they have extensive experience in probate litigation and will provide vigorous representation at trial if that is the best way to protect your interests.

Disputes our attorneys are prepared to handle include:

  • will contests
  • trust litigation
  • breach of fiduciary duty
  • guardianships
  • conservatorships
  • appointment of a personal representative
  • surcharge actions
  • contract disputes
  • title disputes
  • business succession

Pat Prince and Shaheen Imami are both trained mediators, and through our affiliate, Michigan Dispute Resolution & Mediation Services (MDR&MS) offer full service alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services.
