Estates & Trust Litigation
There are few areas of law more personal, important, and frankly, stressful to our clients than estates litigation. These disputes often involve complicated, emotional family dynamics that need to be managed alongside complex subject matter such as the validity of wills and gifts and the proper distribution of estate assets.
We have acted as counsel on numerous estates cases that include compelling trustees to pass accounts, applications to remove trustees, will challenges, and actions alleging oppression by estate trustees and seeking to recover or preserve estate property.
Our lawyers have experience acting for individuals, corporate entities, litigation guardians, and estate trustees during litigation in some of the most complex cases in Ontario, including several on the Toronto Estates list. One of our founding partners, Justin Nasseri, has also acted as a court-appointed Litigation Guardian in a complex estates case.
Our advice on these matters is frequently sought out by other lawyers, institutional clients, and court-appointed litigation guardians and ETDLs.
