Madison Will Contest Lawyers
At the law office of Williford, McAllister & Jacobus, LLP, we bring more than 20 years of experience to people throughout the state of Mississippi, including individuals involved in estate or probate disputes. We understand the stress and anxiety you can feel when the estate of a loved one has unresolved legal issues. We will listen carefully to your questions and concerns, and will carefully explain your rights and obligations, so that we can give you peace of mind.
Our Estate Litigation Practice
We provide comprehensive counsel to individuals involved in estate or probate litigation, whether as plaintiffs or defendants. We will carefully gather and assess all relevant evidence in your case, and we will prepare and file all necessary documents throughout the litigation process. We will also be your advocate in all hearings or proceedings, from depositions to settlement meetings to trial.
We handle a wide range of estate disputes, including:
- Will contests — We represent parties challenging or defending wills, whether due to concerns about the capacity of the person executing the will, or allegations that the will was improperly executed.
- Trust litigation — Our attorneys handle litigation challenging or defending the validity of a trust.
- Allegations of breach of fiduciary duty — We counsel individuals in situations where an executor, administrator or personal representative has been accused of breaching a duty to the estate or to beneficiaries.
Though we have considerable trial experience, and are always willing and able to take your claims before a judge and jury to get the outcome you seek, we also have extensive skill and experience in negotiation. When appropriate, we will work directly with opposing counsel to seek mutually beneficial solutions that can help you avoid the time and expense of protracted litigation.
In the state of Mississippi, a mediation process is available to resolve estate or probate disputes. Two of our attorneys are certified by the courts as mediators. We can serve as the mediator in your case, or can work closely to prepare you for mediation, so that you get the most out of the process.
