Estate Disputes

Disputes involving estates, trusts, and inheritance rights can be among the most emotionally charged and legally complex matters families face. These issues often arise within the broader context of estate planning and probate administration, where clarity and experienced legal guidance are essential. When disagreements arise after a loved one’s death or during the administration of an estate or trust, timely and experienced legal guidance can help protect your rights and preserve the intent of the decedent.

Estate Disputes

Our attorneys have decades of experience representing clients in estate and trust litigation, including disputes arising from:

  • Will contests and challenges to testamentary capacity
  • Claims of undue influence or fraud
  • Trust disputes involving trustees or beneficiaries
  • Breach of fiduciary duty by executors, personal representatives, or trustees
  • Disagreements over asset distribution or interpretation of estate documents
  • Conflicts arising during probate administration
  • Disputes involving guardianships or financial exploitation of vulnerable adults

We represent beneficiaries, heirs, trustees, personal representatives, and fiduciaries on all sides of estate disputes. Our attorneys regularly appear in Washington probate courts and handle matters through negotiation, mediation, and litigation when necessary.

Estate disputes often involve overlapping legal, financial, and family dynamics. We work closely with clients to evaluate their goals, assess the strength of their claims or defenses, and pursue resolutions that protect both legal rights and long-term interests.
