Probate
Mercer Island Probate Lawyers
At Scarff Law Firm, PLLC, we have experience representing clients related to will and trust disputes. We focus on protecting our clients’ interests, while minimizing the emotional and financial impact of a legal dispute. We aim to accomplish objectives through creative thinking and a solution-oriented approach.
Our lawyers provide legal representation for all aspects of probate, including upholding and contesting the validity of a will. If a will contest arises, the court system will examine the validity of the will and the decedent’s property will be distributed based on the court’s decision regarding the will’s validity.
Some of the scenarios that may warrant court intervention include:
A second will was found, bringing into question the legality of the current document
The will was drastically changed prior to the decedent’s death
Questions arise regarding the decedent’s legal competence when executing their will
Suspicions arise that a family member or gold digger coerced the decedent to change the will
Other scenarios include:
Breach of fiduciary duty
Claims of entitlement
Suspicious expenditures from the estate
