The population and significant wealth accumulation of the “Baby Boom” generation have led to increased disputes when it comes time to pass that wealth to the next generation. Many of these disputes can be resolved without expensive, complex litigation, but some require aggressive and experienced trial counsel willing to file suit and proceed to trial. Knowing when to settle your estate dispute and when litigation is your best option is vital to your success. At Milligan Pusateri Co., LPA, we have the experience to know the difference and will work hard to find the right solution for your probate or trust problem. 

Handling Complex Estate Planning Disputes  

We represent clients throughout northeastern Ohio, helping them with complicated and often emotional estate, will, and trust disputes, including: 

  • Abuse of powers of attorney
  • Challenges to wills and trusts
  • Changes to beneficiary designations on insurance, investments, and bank accounts
  • Concealment of probate assets
  • Estate fraud
  • Financial abuse of the elderly
  • Incapacity, incompetence, and undue influence

Our team has the knowledge and experience to represent heirs, beneficiaries, trustees, administrators/executors, and creditors in whatever estate dispute they may be facing. With a hands-on, personalized approach, we can work with you to carefully develop a legal strategy designed to protect your best interests. 

Practice Area Attorneys

Milligan Pusateri has five attorneys in our probate and trust litigation practice group, representing decades of experience in successfully handling complex estate disputes. Whatever your dispute may entail, we are confident that our team can help you find a successful resolution.  

And while you may be working primarily with only one of our attorneys, we work as a team behind the scenes. This means that we leverage the collective knowledge and experience of the entire team in every case we handle, yielding better results for our clients quickly and cost-effectively.

Time Is of the Essence 

Estate disputes are incredibly time-sensitive. A delay in taking action can significantly jeopardize your rights. If you are facing a dispute that you cannot resolve, you need to get help as soon as possible. You need a legal team who can hit the ground running and drive hard until the dispute is fully resolved. 

Our probate and trust litigation practice team is large enough to handle high-stakes estate disputes yet small enough to stay nimble. We can quickly identify the issues and your options and then spring into action to protect your rights.
