Probate litigation: wills and trusts

The vast majority of estate litigation involves will contests and trust disputes. The issues of contention may include alleged breach of fiduciary duty and claims of undue influence. The vast majority of estate litigation also involves will interpretation—interpreting the terms of the will. We can investigate and try to establish the deceased's frame of mine and intentions regarding the will's wording.

Expert opinions: forensic psychologists

The Casterline Law Firm regularly works with approximately 25 experts in various fields and disciplines. Among these experts are forensic psychologists and medical experts. The firm relies upon the knowledge of psychologists and medical experts to determine the mental competency of the decedent when he or she drafted the will. This knowledge can help to show whether undue influence, breach of fiduciary duty, or other factors had an impact on the decisions the decedent made.

The firm vigorously promotes clients' points of view. Attorney Casterline understands this can be a difficult and emotional time for your family. Call him today at (972) 991-5900 to arrange your consultation and learn how he can help.
