How we can help

  • Removal of Trustee: If a Successor Trustee fails to act within a reasonable timeframe, or there is suspicion that a trustee is misappropriating funds, a Trustee can be compelled to produce an accounting or a distribution, or this may be cause for removal.

  • Representation of Beneficiary: If you are the beneficiary of an estate, via Trust or Probate, we will help you understand the nature of your potential inheritance, the anticipated process, and the expected timelines.
