Probate Litigation

We handle Probate Litigation.  Probate Litigation is a speciality area of litigation requiring detailed knowledge of both the rules of civil procedure, the probate statutes, and esoteric areas of evidence such as the Deadman Rule.  We have been referred matters a number of times to defend decedent estates from probate claims, including going through full probate trial and appeal.
