Representing Clients in Contested and Uncontested Probate Court Matters
While estate planning can often eliminate or reduce the need to go to court to address estate and trust issues, it is sometimes necessary to go before a judge to resolve a dispute or answer a question. When that happens, you are going to want an experienced attorney by your side.
At The Peninsula Center for Estate Planning and Elder Law, we are committed to providing effective probate and trust litigation services. Williamsburg estate litigation lawyer Helena S. Mock has the experience to assist clients with a wide range of matters, including the following:
- Guardianships and conservatorships: If you need the authority to take care of the financial and personal affairs of a family member who has become incapacitated , we can help you pursue a guardianship or conservatorship action.
- Interpretation of wills: If your loved one's will is ambiguous due to a scrivener's error or incomplete provision, our firm can help you seek interpretive guidance from the court.
- Trust reformations: If you have run into any trouble interpreting or administering a trust established in Virginia, it may be possible to get the probate court to reform the trust and resolve the issue. Our firm is experienced at assisting clients with trust reformations.
- Will and trust contests: Unfortunately, disputes do sometimes arise between family members and other parties after a loved one has died. Ms. Mock is an experienced trial attorney who is prepared to protect your interests in contested probate and trust litigation.
