Issues affecting the future of a person's estate can arise for many different reasons.  Sometimes, wills or trusts fail to clearly express a decedent's intentions.  Other times, the fiduciary responsible for administering an estate and making decisions—such as a guardian, trustee, or executor—fails to fulfill responsibilities or act in good faith. In these scenarios, experienced Palm Beach probate law firms know that having a skilled attorney in your corner can be the difference between a swift resolution or a long, drawn-out court battle.

A West Palm Beach probate lawyer from Matwiczyk & Brown, LLP can help resolve will contests and trust disputes

We aggressively represent clients in various probate, fiduciary, and trust litigation issues:

• Interpretation and construction of wills and intentions of decedents
• Will contests based on undue influence and lack of mental capacity
• Failure to follow appropriate procedures for drafting a will
• Forged documents
• Fraud or fiduciary abuse
• Capacity of an executor, trustee, or guardian to carry out responsibilities

Probate and trust litigation may result in a judge determining that portions of a will are invalid, that the entire will is invalid, or that a prior will should be enforced.
