Estate and Trust Litigation Oakland County
Jim
LoPrete and Mary Lyneis have
extensive experience in all
aspects of estate and trust
litigation. Disputes often arise
concerning the validity of a
Will or Trust - did the decedent
lack capacity to sign the
document, or was the decedent
unduly influenced? Often the
fiduciary fails to 1) follow the
terms of the Will or Trust; 2)
keep the beneficiaries informed;
3) act in the best interest of
the beneficiaries; 4) follow the
Michigan Prudent Investor Rule;
or 5) keep estate or trust
assets segregated from personal
assets (commingling of funds).
There are also situations when
an individual is acting under a
Power of Attorney during
lifetime, and refuses to account
to the beneficiaries after the
death of the principal. We can
assist either the beneficiaries
or fiduciary in resolving any
controversy that arises through
probate court proceedings or
mediation.
