Protecting Your Rights in Estate and Trust Disputes
When conflicts arise over the administration of an estate or trust, experienced legal guidance can make all the difference. At Chadwick Estate Law PLLC, we represent beneficiaries, fiduciaries, and family members in disputes involving misconduct, accounting objections, and will or trust challenges. Our approach is firm but measured—resolving disputes through negotiation whenever possible, and litigating decisively when necessary.
Our Litigation Services
Will Contests
When a will’s validity is in question, we provide skilled representation before the Register of Wills and Orphans’ Court Division. Our practice covers challenges based on undue influence, fraud, lack of capacity, mistake, and procedural irregularities, as well as defense of properly executed wills. We also assist clients in filing or responding to caveats and petitions to revoke probate.
Trust Litigation
We handle all aspects of trust-related disputes, from defending trustees accused of breach of duty to challenging trustees who fail to act in the beneficiaries’ best interests. Our firm has deep experience in Pennsylvania Orphans’ Court practice, where trust disputes often require detailed account analysis and precise procedural compliance.
Beneficiary Representation
Beneficiaries have a right to full transparency and fair treatment. We represent individuals who suspect a trustee or executor has mismanaged assets, withheld information, or failed to provide an accounting. We pursue remedies that can include compelling an accounting, removing a fiduciary, or recovering misused funds.
