Trust & Estate Litigation

When estate or trust matters become contested, we bring the litigation skill and determination to protect your rights.

Experienced Advocates for Complex Disputes

Disputes over estates and trusts are among the most emotionally charged and legally complex matters a family can face. At Myers & Shah, our litigation practice is grounded in years of experience across federal courts, government agencies, and major law firms.

What We Help With

  • Will Contests (undue influence, lack of capacity, fraud, duress)
  • Trust Disputes and Modification Actions
  • Breach of Fiduciary Duty Claims
  • Contested Estate and Trust Accountings
  • Executor and Trustee Removal Proceedings
  • Guardianship and Conservatorship Disputes
  • Claims for Tortious Interference with Inheritance
  • Mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution
  • Appeals of Probate and Surrogate Court Decisions

Litigation Skill Meets Estate Knowledge

What sets our practice apart is the combination of deep litigation ability and substantive estate planning knowledge. Because we also maintain an active estate planning and tax practice, we understand the documents, structures, and strategies at the heart of every dispute.

Resolution-Oriented, Trial-Ready

Not every dispute needs to go to trial, and we always evaluate whether negotiation or mediation can achieve a better result more efficiently. But when litigation is necessary, our clients can be confident that they have trial-tested counsel who will advocate forcefully on their behalf.
