Friedemann Goldberg Wargo Hess LLP

Trust & Estate Litigation

At Friedemann Goldberg Wargo Hess LLP, we recognize that trust and estate litigation can involve sensitive family dynamics and complex legal issues. We approach each case with compassion, discretion, and a commitment to achieving favorable outcomes for our clients. Our attorneys strive to resolve disputes efficiently through negotiation, mediation, or alternative dispute resolution methods whenever possible. However, we are prepared to advocate vigorously for our clients’ interests in court when litigation becomes necessary.

While we aspire to resolve trust and estate matters seamlessly, quickly, and without conflict, there are some matters that can only be resolved through litigation.  For those matters, we have attorneys that focus their practice on litigation of probate and trust disputes.  As such, we are always prepared to advocate for our clients to the fullest extent and to explore every avenue available to ensure that trust and probate matters are litigated efficiently and successfully.

will contests and disputes

Challenges to the validity of a will or disagreements regarding its terms can significantly complicate the distribution of assets and strain familial relationships. We recognize the importance of resolving will contests and disputes with sensitivity and precision. Our team of skilled litigators is adept at navigating the intricate legal landscape surrounding contested wills, offering comprehensive support and advocacy to our clients.

breach of fiduciary duty

Fiduciaries, including trustees and executors, are entrusted with significant responsibilities to manage assets and act in the best interests of beneficiaries. Allegations of breach of fiduciary duty can lead to contentious legal battles. Our attorneys have extensive experience representing clients in claims involving mismanagement of assets, conflicts of interest, self-dealing, and other breaches of fiduciary duty.
