Florida Estate Litigation
Probate, Guardianship, & Trust Litigation
At Adrian Philip Thomas, P.A., we know that estate, trust, probate, and guardianship litigation are ever-developing areas of the law in Florida. Our reputable and experienced team of litigators has been serving clients since 2002 and has represented thousands of clients in various estate-related disputes, both prosecuting and defending causes of action.
Probate, guardianship, and trust litigation include many causes of action, such as:
- Will contests
- Trust contests based on undue influence or lack of capacity
- Abuse of power of attorney
- Exploitation of the elderly
- Challenges to guardianship proceedings
- Enforcement of the terms of a trust
- Demand for an accounting
Litigation matters are complex and require specialized knowledge. Our firm has a breadth of experience unique to a boutique law firm and attorneys with varied backgrounds that make them extraordinarily well-suited to handle your case. Our attorneys have backgrounds in estate planning, uncontested probate and guardianship, law enforcement, and guardianship advocacy, all of which play an important role in cases involving exploitation of the elderly and Florida inheritance disputes.
Our legal team at Adrian Philip Thomas, P.A. understands that while clients are best served by first attempting to negotiate an honest, fair, and prompt resolution to a dispute, it often becomes necessary for an estate attorney to litigate in order to preserve and protect a family member’s personal rights and assets or a client’s inheritance.
