Trust Litigation

At The Schmidt Firm, we are dedicated to understanding the unique needs of high-net-worth families and providing the skilled legal counsel they require, especially when navigating complex fiduciary disputes. These disputes often arise from family disagreements and can involve family partnerships, family-owned businesses, and other sensitive matters. 

Our attorneys work closely with beneficiaries, executors, and trustees to ensure they fully understand their rights and responsibilities, helping them mitigate risk and avoid costly conflicts. When disputes arise, we act swiftly and strategically, using negotiation and early settlement tactics to resolve issues before they escalate into expensive litigation.

However, when litigation is unavoidable, our experienced fiduciary litigators are ready to guide you through every step. Fiduciary disputes often involve intricate legal matters related to probate, trusts, guardianships, and tax law. Our team brings both trial expertise and a comprehensive understanding of these complex areas of law to minimize legal, financial, and reputational risks. 

We are committed to aligning our strategies with your long-term family and financial goals while controlling costs.

Our fiduciary litigators represent estate representatives, trustees, guardians, and beneficiaries in both contested and uncontested trust and estate matters. We have successfully advised clients on both sides of these disputes—whether in jury trials, bench trials, injunction proceedings, alternative dispute resolution, or appellate matters. With a deep understanding of the sophisticated legal issues involved, we handle every case with efficiency, precision, and a focus on achieving the best possible outcome for our clients.

At The Schmidt Firm, we understand that protecting your family’s legacy is paramount. Our goal is to provide you with clear, effective legal strategies that help you navigate fiduciary disputes with confidence and peace of mind.
