Our group provides expert representation to corporate and individual fiduciaries engaged in will and trust contests, accounting actions and litigation where the meaning of an estate plan document or the identity of a beneficiary is at issue. In addition, we have been successful at reformation suits, charitable and exempt organization litigation, and representing beneficiaries’ rights in all trust and estate matters.
Our litigators are highly experienced at both the trial and appellate court levels. We are skilled at enforcing rights based in state property law while simultaneously coordinating efforts with our tax attorneys to achieve the best income or transfer tax results for our clients. The fiduciary litigation group is supported by the knowledge and proficiency of one of the largest and most well-respected estate planning groups in Chicago, and in return, the group provides our estate planners with critical advice on preventing litigation and positioning clients for a successful defense.
