Estate & Trust Litigation Group:
Practice Profile


Estate & Trust Litigation comprises many areas of law, covering any number of disputes which can arise during the administration of an estate or trust. A child or spouse of the deceased may believe that he or she ought to have a larger share of the estate that is provided in the Will. Family members may believe that the Will does not reflect the true wishes of the deceased. Beneficiaries may wish to challenge the amounts claimed in an accounting of an estate or trust, or may wish to compel a more complete accounting. Beneficiaries may also wish to have the executor or trustee removed and replaced. The wording of the Will may be unclear, and directions from the Court have to be sought. At Clark Wilson LLP, we have assisted people and institutions with these types of estate disputes. For further information, click on the topics listed below.
