Will Construction

On occasion, a will or trust will contain ambiguities regarding the distribution and division of assets, the identity and nature of beneficiaries and tax issues. If the interested parties do not contest the document outright, a construction proceeding may take place. In this instance, interested parties may ask the court for its interpretation and mediation of the ambiguous language.

Schwartzapfel Partners estate litigation team can assess the trust document or the will and determine whether the ambiguities can favor the client's interests. We can then present these determinations in court. Schwartzapfel Partners represents beneficiaries attempting to clarify a confusing will or trust document as well as fiduciaries endeavoring to administer the disputed estate.

If you suspect that an estate's assets have been handled incorrectly, unfairly or illegally, please call us at 1.800.966.4999 or fill out the form to the right of the page for immediate attention to your case.
