Will Contests and Estate Litigation

Disputes over wills and trusts often arise when questions of fairness, mental capacity, or influence come to light. At DK Legal, we handle estate litigation with both compassion and precision—protecting your interests while seeking the most efficient resolution possible.

What we do for you:

• Represent executors, trustees, and beneficiaries in contested estates and trusts
• File or defend against will contests based on undue influence, fraud, or incapacity
• Challenge or defend estate accountings and distributions
• Pursue recovery of misappropriated or hidden assets
• Handle disputes involving executor misconduct, removal, or surcharge actions
• Guide settlement negotiations and mediation for faster, cost-effective resolutions

Common situations we handle:

• Conflicts among heirs or beneficiaries
• Allegations of undue influence or lack of capacity
• Missing, conflicting, or ambiguous wills
• Mishandling or misappropriation of estate funds
• Challenges to executor or trustee authority

Our approach is straightforward and strategic. We explain your options clearly, build a plan that fits your goals, and work toward the best possible outcome—through negotiation when possible and through the courtroom when necessary.
