DC & Maryland Estate Litigation Lawyers: Compassionate Advocacy During Difficult Times
Why Estate Litigation is Sometimes Necessary
Losing a loved one is devastating, and disputes over their estate can further complicate the grieving process. When conflicts arise during probate or estate administration, it’s crucial to have experienced legal counsel by your side. At the Law Offices of Thomas Stahl, our dedicated estate litigation attorneys (also known as probate litigation) provide the support and advocacy you need to navigate these challenging situations.
While most estates go through probate without major issues, certain circumstances can lead to disputes requiring litigation. These situations include:
Missing assets or unaccounted-for property
Multiple Wills creating confusion about the decedent’s intent
Allegations of fraud or forgery in estate documents
Missing or contested trusts
Claims of undue influence exerted on the deceased
The appearance of unknown heirs or beneficiaries
Our experienced estate litigation team can assess your situation, protect your rights, and guide you through the legal process.
Whether you’re a beneficiary, executor, trustee, or concerned party, you may need to file a dispute to resolve an estate issue. It’s crucial to avoid actions that could jeopardize your case, such as:
Hiding or concealing assets
Destroying Wills or other important documents
Forging or altering documents
Engaging in vengeful or threatening behavior
