Will Contests: Examining the Validity of a Will

Often driven by claims of undue influence, lack of testamentary ability, or fraud, a will contest challenges the validity of a will. These problems might develop when beneficiaries or heirs contest the wishes stated in a will of a decedent. Understanding the complexity of will challenges, Baxter-Thompson Law works hard to defend the rights of clients engaged in these legal conflicts.

Violation of Fiduciary Duty Laws

Legal obligations to act in the best interests of the beneficiaries fall to fiduciaries including guardians, trustees, and executors. A fiduciary responsibility lawsuit may follow from a failure in this obligation—by mismanaging assets, self-dealing, or failing to disclose significant information. When fiduciaries neglect their legal responsibilities, Baxter-Thompson Law, PLLC handles these matters precisely to ensure that clients get the protection they are due.
