All too often, a decedent’s end-of-life wishes are the subject of disputes after they have passed. Many people use trusts or wills or a combination to determine how their estate will be distributed and to protect their assets. Their wishes, as set out in these documents, must be their own, mindful decisions free of undue influence.

Attorneys of the firm have handled and tried high-stakes cases in which the decisions made by a decedent were challenged. This experience includes the second largest defense verdict in the state of Missouri in 2016.

The firm has also handled disputes between those who benefit from a trust and the trustee, which controls the assets of the trust. We have the experience and knowledge to negotiate these disputes and litigate if necessary.

Whether defending the intentions of the decedent or seeking to set aside a trust or will arrived at through undue influence, we have the experience to protect your interests in Trust and Estate litigation.
