It can often involve claims on behalf of or against relative strangers to a trust or decedent's estate. If you need advice about your litigation options to recover a claim against an estate, or if you are an estate or trust fiduciary who must investigate the viability of contract or tort claims against a third party, contact the Florida probate litigation attorneys of Grumer & Macaluso, P.A., in Fort Lauderdale.

Our lawyers represent trusts and estates in the evaluation and liquidation of contract claims against the decedent's business associates and debtors, creditors who need to proceed against an estate in order to liquidate a claim, or third parties who need to defend contract or tort claims asserted by a trustee, executor or administrator. We also represent fiduciaries and closely held businesses in disputes concerning title to corporate or partnership assets, management succession, transfer of a decedent's ownership interest to heirs or co-owners, and valuation of equity interests when buyout options are exercised.
Litigation can sometimes be necessary as well to resolve disputes between estates and gift transferees, real estate professionals, business lenders and customers or clients of a decedent engaged in commerce or a profession as a sole proprietor.
Our objective in third-party probate litigation is to give our client a good understanding of the various options available to resolve a dispute, together with an appreciation of the time and expense reasonably necessary to accomplish the goal. In many situations, there will be interpersonal factors of varying intensity to consider as the backdrop to the dispute, and our job will be to help clients make sound decisions for themselves, their families and their businesses on the basis of objective factors and long-term interests.
As focused trial attorneys with extensive experience in the probate courts of South Florida, Grumer & Macaluso can present effective claims and defenses in court whenever favorable outcomes cannot be achieved through negotiations or alternative dispute resolution techniques.
For additional information about the range of our experience in trust and estate litigation involving business assets, ownership and management prerogatives, or debtor-creditor relations involving a decedent, contact Grumer & Macaluso in Fort Lauderdale.
