A Trustworthy Attorney For Estate And Trust Litigation
In the weeks and months following the death of a loved one, you may find yourself faced with the uncomfortable looming shadow of estate litigation. Disputes about estate administration tend to be complex. Attorney Lee Watt has more than 40 years of experience handling estate and trust disputes. He founded Watt Firm PLLC in Flowood to serve clients in the Jackson communities and throughout Mississippi with compassion and honesty.
Skilled Legal Counsel In The Wake Of A Loss
Not every estate lawyer can assist in the estate litigation process. Seek out an estate litigation lawyer if you wish to:
- Contest the legitimacy of a will
- Argue the interpretation of a will or trust
- Prove that a will has been executed improperly
- Remove an executor or a trustee
- Dispute an individual’s power of attorney
- Defend against creditor claims
- Question the actions of a fiduciary
- Appoint or remove a guardian
- Appeal a previous estate litigation finding
Over the last four decades, our firm’s estate attorney has established a reputation for real estate and contract litigation in Mississippi. Estate litigation often involves evaluating and altering or enforcing one of life’s most important contracts: a will. Often, it also involves the transfer of real estate.
Contesting A Will Or Trust In Mississippi
When a client contests a will in Mississippi, they typically claim that the will document does not accurately reflect the desires of the deceased or testator. The contesting party needs to have a legally valid reason to contest the will and must supply reasonable evidence to support that reason. The same can be said for contesting the terms of a trust. If you wish to remove a trustee, you will need to provide evidence that the trustee somehow breached their fiduciary duty. We know this is a difficult time, and we strive to be a salve during this potentially grim time through our personalized approach to all litigation.
Our firm can help determine the strength of your claim and assist you in compiling evidence and developing an argument for litigation. With Watt Firm PLLC, rest assured that you will receive the personal care and respect that delicate matters like estate litigation require. Well-respected in the legal community, attorney Watt will always work to diligently negotiate a resolution in your case outside of court. However, his clients hire him because he is a litigator who won’t hesitate to go to trial if that’s what his clients need.
