Estate Litigation and Wills Variation Actions

Trustees and executors of wills retain GSW to resist claims by disappointed beneficiaries. We also assist claimants who have been disinherited.

Examples of our work in this area include:

  • pursuing the redistribution of gifts made pursuant to the deceased's will
  • advancing claims under the equitable relief jurisdiction of the court where the deceased has not left a will
  • negotiating and crafting resolutions to solve the problems created by unequal gifting amongst family members
  • appointing a committee where the individual is incompetent by reason of mental or physical infirmity
  • bringing proceedings to interpret a trust agreement or a will
  • seeking a determination of the capacity of the testator to make a will
