Trust disputes are complex cases, and because there are many people and emotions involved, disputes involving a trust can feel overwhelming without the right support. That means carefully selecting your counsel. The best trust litigation attorney will be one that has a proven track record, exhibits compassion, and understands your unique case.
Five Things to Look For When Seeking a Trust Litigation Attorney
Knowledgeable
Your trust litigation attorney should be knowledgeable in any areas of the law that relate to your particular case. There are many types of trusts, including revocable, irrevocable, family, inter-vivos, insurance, charitable trusts, and unitrusts. Unique trusts come with their own nuances and litigation strategies. Having a trust litigation attorney that can navigate these nuances smoothly is a tremendous leg-up in court.
The best trust litigation attorneys are also, to some degree, knowledgeable about financial planning. Knowledge and insight into financial planning helps litigators make wise decisions regarding you, your family, and your goals.
