Hacker Murphy, LLP

A sudden or unexpected estate plan can raise serious questions when it appears inconsistent with a decedent's prior wishes. If you suspect issues affecting the validity of a will or trust, such as incapacity, undue influence, forgery, or other defects, our firm represents heirs, beneficiaries, personal representatives, trustees, creditors, and other interested parties in probate and trust disputes in Albany's Capital Region and throughout Upstate New York. We handle will contests and disputes over the interpretation of wills and trusts, trust litigation involving trust documentation and assets, and fiduciary litigation alleging fraudulent, negligent, or other improper conduct by personal representatives and trustees. We also address litigation involving accounting, payment of taxes, investment decisions, and other matters arising in estate and trust administration, and we can pursue actions to remove personal representatives or trustees when warranted. Our lawyers seek to minimize disputes where possible and use alternative dispute resolution when appropriate, while vigorously representing clients in court when necessary.
