Will Contest and Trust Litigation

For the past 40+ years Swartz & Kennedy has represented clients when wills were contested. Since the number of trust documents has increased in the recent years, we have represented clients in major trust and related family disputes. Our experience includes representing trust beneficiaries as well as defending trust fiduciaries. Family and trust disputes are emotional and time consuming-some disputes began decades ago.
