Estate Litigation Lawyer Coquitlam, BC
Are you worried someone influenced your recently deceased loved one when they created a will or trust? Sadly, some people exploit elderly individuals for financial gain. As a close family member or interested party, you may have the right to challenge the will or trust in court. Our Coquitlam estate litigation lawyer can explain your options and help prepare the complaint.
Estate litigation may also be appropriate if you believe the executor or estate administrator is failing to properly carry out their fiduciary duties. We can investigate the matter if you suspect the administrator is using the role for personal benefit, failing to comply with the terms of a trust, or otherwise failing to meet their legal responsibilities. Depending on what we find, we may recommend that you pursue legal action to recover damages, ask the probate court to appoint a new administrator, or initiate other legal action as needed to address the matter.
If you are an estate administrator or trustee facing questions from heirs, we can help. We review your decisions, evaluate any claims against you, and represent you in probate court. Your responsibility is to the estate, not the heirs, and when heirs are unhappy with the will or trust, or your decisions, they may complain, making your job more difficult. We can soothe ruffled feathers and address these concerns on your behalf. We can also represent you in court if an heir or other interested party files legal action against you.
