Contested Estate

Your estate plan is an expression of who you are and what you value. Your attorney must translate your personal decisions into legal documents that will stand up to challenges and make your decisions reality. This cannot be done if your attorney has not taken the time to get to know you.

Probate is an area of the law that demands a high degree of care. The attorneys of Leeds Morelli & Brown are respected contested estate attorneys in New York. We have a reputation for bringing contested estate cases to a satisfactory and timely conclusion.

At Leeds Morelli & Brown, our lawyers provide contested will and estate litigation services to clients on Long Island and throughout the New York metropolitan area. Our practice includes reviewing wills and codicils and reviewing revocable and irrevocable trusts to determine whether a claim against them on behalf of an heir is likely to succeed. We work to protect the assets of an estate from an executor or administrator who is managing an estate improperly.

In all cases, whether simply revising a will for one of our clients or representing the legitimate heirs to a fortune in litigation, building long-term relationships with our clients is critical to our practice. Family situations we have encountered include:

  • One sibling claimed that another sibling interfered with her inheritance by unduly influencing an elderly and infirm parent.
  • An heir sought to establish his rights to the estate and paternity through DNA testing.
  • An heir claimed that an executor was stealing from an estate, delaying settlement of the estate and breaching his fiduciary duties.

We can help protect your rightful inheritance under a will or reclaim trust property you were denied. We can determine whether an asset belongs to the estate or to the person possessing the property. If it belongs to the estate, we can recover it for you.
