Successions

Successions are the legal process for the distribution of a person’s property after death. The process can be simple and non-controversial (especially when the deceased has prepared a proper Estate Plan) or complicated and disputed.  The value of the deceased’s property, the type of property, the debts of the decedent, and several other factors will determine the exact procedures used.

I use my decades of experience in litigation combined with my commitment to providing clients with the personal and practical advice I would want myself to help clients with a variety of succession needs. Whether you need help with a simple succession or advice and representation in a complex inheritance dispute, I will provide the sound advice and representation you need.

Don’t wait.  The longer it takes to complete a Succession, the more complicated and expensive it can get.  Often, estates that could have been pretty simple get bogged down in litigation because of the issues and heirs that got into the mix long after the deceased died.
