When disagreements arise in probate and estate administration, legal technicalities and family dynamics can complicate things. In these cases, the help of an experienced estate and probate attorney can make a huge difference.

At the Allison Firm, PLLC, we are unique in that we are one of the very few firms with the particular skill and experience to practice "estate litigation", which means resolving estate disputes in court. Our attorneys represent defendants and plaintiffs in problematic estate disputes, Will contests, and other disagreement challenges. Our AV-rated* practice is limited exclusively to matters related to Wills, Trusts and Estates. So, we have extensive education and a high level of experience in these areas. A brief overview of our estate practice indicates how broad and complex the issues can be.

Lawyers Representing Beneficiaries and Fiduciaries in Estate Litigation

Most people prefer to settle out of court and we work toward that solution. However, when we must take a case to court for litigation we are experienced with representing clients on either side of legal issues. You might be a:

• Beneficiary (the party receiving inheritance) for whom we work to ensure that you actually receive what you should receive; or a
• Fiduciary (the trustee, executor or personal representative responsible for administering settlement of an estate) for whom we work when there are disputes with the beneficiaries

Solutions in Court or With The IRS

We have 30+ years of experience in proper estate administration and worked for the IRS gift and estate tax unit. This gave us the experience to efficiently handle complex problems that Beneficiaries and Fiduciaries commonly encounter:

• Inadequate or inaccurate preparation for an estate inventory or accounting
• Interpretation of ambiguous provisions in the wide variety of estate planning documents, including no-contest clauses
• Mishandling or misapplying the principal of trust assets
• Commingling or theft of funds
• Removal of fiduciaries for breach of duty
• Incompetent estate or trust administration
• Errors in taxation or tax planning that result in greater tax liability
• Adverse death, gift, generation-skipping and fiduciary income tax issues

At the Allison Firm, PLLC, we practice law with integrity and fairness. When out of courst settlement doesn't work, we have the experience and knowledge to effectively and efficiently advocate for you - with the IRS and in court or out.
