Estates Litigation

We have significant experience at the Orphans’ Court and appellate levels in litigating challenges to wills or to the actions of executors. For example, in an appeal on behalf of an executor to a large estate, we successfully argued to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court that a lower court’s removal of previous executors was proper. In another matter, we successfully challenged the executrix of an estate on behalf of the decedent’s widow. On behalf of the executors of other estates, we have twice resisted discovery against our clients on the grounds that would-be challenges to wills or executors’ actions cannot proceed unless the challengers have a reasonable basis for their allegations.
