Handling All Types of Probate Disputes

At Palmer Zad & Associates, we handle disputes among beneficiaries, heirs, administrators, personal representatives, family members, and other parties. Many probate-related disputes are financial in nature.

Common types of disputes we work to resolve include:

Undue influence
Breach of fiduciary duty
Inheritance disputes
Guardianship disputes
Invalid wills and other types of will contests
Dying without a will (dying intestate)

Our Approach to Probate Litigation

Every situation is different, so we tailor our approach to every client’s unique case. Our Oceanside probate litigation attorneys are highly experienced in these kinds of matters. We will work with you to explore non-adversarial dispute resolution methods such as mediation and negotiation. These forms of dispute resolution can often save time and money. That said, we are never afraid to litigate a case if it is in our client’s best interests.

Do not let too much time pass. We can help you identify options to settle your probate dispute in a timely manner. Schedule your consultation by calling (760) 573-2223.
