When it comes to trusts and estates, disputes are rarely planned, but they do happen. In fact, they happen far too often. If a dispute occurs, HFM can help. Although we often strive to solve problems through discussion, mediation or other forms of alternate dispute resolution, there are times when corporate or individual fiduciaries, beneficiaries or family members need an experienced litigator to be their advocate. With 38 years of experience, Gordon R. Muir will be a strong and aggressive advocate for you in and out of court.
If conflicts involving trusts and estates end up in the courtroom, your rights and interests may be in jeopardy. Disputes may arise from conflicting interpretations of a will or trust, mistakes, jealousies, suspicions, improper accountings, failures to account and other breaches of fiduciary duties by executors, trustees, and other personal representatives. Fiduciary litigation may become necessary when a power of attorney is misused by one entrusted to act honestly and responsibly. As your counsel and advocate, HFM will actively pursue fair and reasonable settlement opportunities, but we will use our extensive in-court experience to aggressively preserve, protect and enforce your rights through litigation, if necessary, to obtain the justice you deserve.
