Trust & Estate Litigation

No matter the issue, our Trusts and Estates Group attorneys have the expertise to handle your trusts and estates litigation problems. Our Trusts and Estates Group attorneys work closely with our Litigation Group attorneys in resolving our clients' disputes. Our attorneys have represented individuals in a variety of contexts including incapacity proceedings, contests of wills and trusts, fiduciary surcharge actions, and in the proper disposition of estate assets. Our approach to resolving these disputes is always client-centered, and we work with our clients to resolve the issues in a way that achieves our clients' objectives including the resolution of disputes through negotiation, alternative dispute resolution, and trials.

Our attorneys have extensive litigation experience when it comes to representing fiduciaries, which allows us to offer our clients practical and comprehensive solutions for litigating cases in the Pennsylvania Orphans' Court or similar courts in other jurisdictions where our attorneys are licensed to practice.  MacDonald Illig attorneys have represented fiduciaries, both individual and corporate, in resolving interpretation issues, accountings, surcharge proceedings, removal actions, tax controversies, and all other controversies surrounding wills, trusts, and estates.  Our attorneys also have experience representing clients before the Internal Revenue Service, United States Tax Court, and various state taxing authorities.
