Estate Dispute Resolved prior to Trial

Posted in on March 13, 2014

Often when an estate plan is executed close to the time of death or an estate plan favors one heir over others a will contest will ensue. Unfortunately will contests are expensive to litigate because emotions run high among family members and in the end the estate assets will be depleted and the family relationship is destroyed. At Baker, Braverman & Barbadoro, P.C. we provide our clients with practical advice on resolving issues involving estate disputes through mediation and other dispute resolutions methods.
