Rockland County Probate Litigation Attorneys Who Get Results

Nobody wants to be embroiled in a dispute over the probate of a Will or the administration of an Estate or Trust. In New York and New Jersey, the probate process (establishing the validity of a Will and obtaining the appointment of the Executor[s]) should be straight-forward, simple and relatively inexpensive. But when problems arise, the legal expertise and 35 years' experience of Kantrowitz, Goldhamer & Graifman can help you avoid or resolve litigation.

Probate issues are minimized when solid estate planning tools have been put in place. Without effective planning and appropriate defensive strategies, issues and disputes can multiply after death. When even the best efforts cannot completely eliminate outrageous allegations of undue influence, incompetency or fraud, our KGG estate and probate lawyers protect your rights.

If you have been deprived of your rightful inheritance because a loved one has fallen prey to manipulation, we can help put things to right. If a Will or Trust Agreement has been drawn with less than total precision, we can conduct a proceeding and help the Court to construe the document's true meaning.

We investigate, negotiate and litigate with diplomacy and determination. Our work is widely recognized in state and federal courts in the northeastern U.S. When an Estate or Trust is in administration, we coordinate efforts with Executors and Trustees to see to it that you, the Beneficiary, receive the justice you are due.

If necessary, we can bring your message, forcefully and aggressively, before a judge and jury.

No matter where your probate, estate or trust administration takes you, we can be right there alongside you with solid support and quality legal guidance that protects your rights. Contact Kantrowitz, Goldhamer & Graifman at our full-service law offices.

Testimonials

  • Dear Paul: After our initial meeting, I knew I had made the right choice in choosing you to represent me. The other attorneys I had met with just did not have what I was looking for - - strength, enthusiasm, concern. I felt that you cared what happened to me and really wanted to help me get out of the mess I put myself into. For the first time in years, I felt positive about recovering my money. - CHRIS

  • Dear Paul: The rest of my life was on the line... and I needed a home run. But it had to be a tape measure job. Something so spectacular that it would change the whole momentum of the game.

With a great deal of hard work, dedication, creative thinking, caring, coupled with an impressive flair for negotiating and presenting my case, you managed to do it! - KAREN
