Wayne T. Rife- Probate, Trust & Guardianship Disputes Attorney

 
Probate, Trust, & Guardianship Disputes/Litigation

The Rife Law Firm understands and appreciates that every family strives to avoid testamentary problems.   However, our goal is to deal effectively with probate and guardianship problems when they do arise.  We understand these issues involve more than money; that they evoke emotions and frequently divide families. For these reasons, we work to find creative solutions that may avoid protracted litigation and preserve family relationships. When necessary, however, we will protect and vigorously advance our clients' interests in probate and trust adversarial proceedings.

 

When it becomes necessary to call on the assistance of the courts to solve probate and trust problems, we will work to use judicial resources effectively and efficiently. We also provide assistance to trustees who seek court approval of their actions, or the interpretation and enforcement of trust provisions.
