Suits Against and Defense of Executors
Wynne, Smith & Young’s Estate and Probate Litigation practice includes a specialized focus on suits against as well as defense of executors. When an executor fails to fulfill their fiduciary duties or acts against the best interests of the estate or its beneficiaries, it can lead to significant financial and emotional harm. Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to holding executors accountable and ensuring that estates are managed and distributed according to the decedent’s wishes and applicable laws. We also defend executors from such claims.
We represent beneficiaries and other interested parties in claims against executors for breaches of fiduciary duty, including mismanagement of assets, failure to provide timely and accurate accountings, self-dealing, and conflicts of interest. Our team conducts thorough investigations to uncover any misconduct and builds strong cases to advocate for the removal of the executor, recovery of lost assets, and compensation for damages. We understand the sensitive nature of these disputes and approach each case with the utmost professionalism and compassion.
In addition to litigation, we offer advisory services to help beneficiaries understand their rights and the responsibilities of executors. Our goal is to ensure that estates are administered fairly and efficiently, and that executors are held to the highest standards of accountability. By partnering with our firm, clients gain access to skilled legal advocates who are committed to protecting their interests and achieving just resolutions in estate and probate matters.
