Probate Case Highlights:
A group of siblings, all heirs to an estate, came to us because one heir had improperly transferred the family home into her name alone. We filed a lawsuit on behalf of certain heirs.
We had a trial to the bench and were able to obtain a judgment based on a constructive trust. The home was returned to the estate and was divided equally among all of the children.
We handled an estate where a caregiver had coerced the decedent into transferring certain assets into both of their names jointly.
Through litigation and ultimately a trial on these issues, we were able to get an order from the Court requiring the transfer of certain assets back into the name of the Trust and requiring the caregiver to pay our attorney fees.
* Past case results cannot ensure future results, as each case must be decided on its own merits.
