As an estate planning attorney, you play a crucial role in helping clients organize their assets and make plans for their distribution after death. However, even the most meticulous estate plans can become the subject of disputes. In such situations, your clients may need the assistance of a fiduciary litigation firm to assist them in resolving their dispute. Gaslowitz Frankel serves individuals and estate planning, trust, business, and family law areas, and banking and wealth management in Georgia and across the Southeastern United States.
“The work of estate planning attorneys is indispensable, yet when disputes arise, the need for seasoned litigators becomes paramount,” notes Craig M. Frankel, a founding partner of Gaslowitz Frankel. “We provide the specialized expertise to address these conflicts, ensuring that the client’s original intentions are upheld.”
If a claim to set aside a will or trust is asserted, the drafting attorney is usually an important fact witness. Because an attorney cannot be both a witness at trial and litigation counsel for one of the parties, estate planners in these situations need to refer their clients to litigation counsel.
The same may be true for attorneys who assist in the administration of an estate or trust. If a dispute regarding the administration arises, their clients may need to hire separate counsel to represent them.
These types of cases often require a high level of investigative skill and financial acumen. Fiduciary litigation firms are equipped to handle these complex situations and provide your clients with the support they need to protect their interests.
The attorneys of Gaslowitz Frankel have years of expertise in handling the complex issues surrounding will, trust, estate, business, and securities disputes. For trusted estate law and fiduciary legal guidance, consult with the attorneys of Gaslowitz Frankel.
