Serving as a Personal Representative can be a difficult, thankless job. I help Personal Representatives who come under attack from disgruntled heirs and beneficiaries.

Massachusetts Probate Administration Defense Lawyer

If you have been appointed to serve as the personal representative of the estate of a loved one, you likely appreciate the efforts and focus required to ensure that all matters are properly handled.  However, when there are significant assets in an estate, and if those who may be entitled to share in the asset distribution do not get along, there is the possibility that false charges can be made against the estate personal representative in an effort to gain a greater share of the estate assets.

I have long represented clients in virtually all types of probate disputes, will contests, and allegations of impropriety against personal representatives.  I appreciate the level of fiduciary effort required to properly administer an estate, and the difficulties that arise when siblings, relatives, and other loved ones try to make administration difficult and think only of their own interests.
