Inheritance & estates
Nothing is billed before a written fee agreement.
An estate dispute can cost more than the estate. We push for settlements that keep the family patrimony whole, and when court is unavoidable, we arrive with the accounts already clear.
What we handle
- Wills and estate planning, including blended families
- Estate settlements blocked by a disagreeing heir
- Contested wills and claims of undue influence
- Reserved-share claims for overlooked heirs
- Gifts, life insurance and reporting disputes
How we work
We begin with an inventory phase at a fixed fee: assets, gifts and each heir’s position stated in writing. Then you choose (negotiation, mediation or proceedings) with a cost estimate for each path.
