Defense • Planning • Litigation

If an issue arises during the probate process, we can help you resolve the dispute through probate litigation. Our areas of expertise include contested wills, breach of fiduciary duty, trust administration, creditor claims, and other probate-related matters.

Exercise your constitutional right to remain silent and contact a criminal defense lawyer. Although it may be tempting to talk to the arresting officers in order to clear the air or explain your side of the story, it’s best to avoid saying anything that could be used to make a criminal case against you.

An estate plan encompasses far more than addressing how your property will be handled upon your passing. You can use your estate plan to document your wishes regarding medical treatment in the event that you become incapacitated or unable to make these decisions, set up a trust to avoid the probate process, and ensure that you and your loved ones will be secure—no matter what the future may hold.

Guardianships protect minors or those with intellectual disabilities so that they will be looked after and supported in the event that their parent or caregiver is unable to do so (or passes away). Conservatorships are similar in purpose, but they are set up for elderly individuals or those who are too incapacitated to manage their affairs. We can help you explore whether establishing a guardianship or conservatorship is the best way to protect a loved one.

If you are concerned that the will your loved one left behind is not legally valid or was created under duress, reach out to Justin C. Pugh & Associates for the exceptional guidance you deserve. We will support you at every step of the probate litigation process, looking out for your best interests at every turn.
