Estate Litigation

In the estates and trusts field, a seemingly minor dispute can be very hard to resolve. Complicated legal issues combined with this highly-charged and emotional time can lead to difficult situations. The Estate Litigation lawyers at Shibley Righton LLP can help. We have the experience and expertise to guide our clients successfully and efficiently through the process.

We act for estate trustees and other fiduciaries, individual and institutional beneficiaries, as well as drafting solicitors.

Our lawyers can assist and advise in many areas, including:

• Will challenge and will interpretation applications;

• Guardianship applications;

• Passing of accounts applications;

• Solicitor's negligence claims;

• Dependant support claims;

• Removal, replacement, and appointment of Estate Trustees;

• Rectification and variation of wills and trusts;

• Power of attorney, capacity, and other fiduciary disputes;

• Claims against estates; and,

• Claims arising from the administration of estates.

As a full service firm, we regularly liaise with our Business Law Group, our Tax Group, our Real Estate Group, and our Wills and Estates Group in order to give our clients the most complete level of service.

We provide strategic and sophisticated counsel. As we recognize that each client has their own specific goals and objectives, we guide our clients by providing individually-tailored service in a thorough and cost-effective manner.
