Experienced Litigators Resolving Stressful Disputes

With extensive experience in probate, estate planning and real estate law, our lawyers have the skills to help you resolve these disputes. Some common allegations that may lead to breach of fiduciary duty litigation include:

Failing to pay creditors on time
Not distributing assets according to the terms of the will or trust
Making financial decisions not in the best interest of the estate and beneficiaries
Taking money out of the estate for yourself

Administering a loved one’s estate is a sensitive process. Beneficiaries want to ensure their loved one’s wishes are honored, but they also want to receive the assets they were promised. We can thoroughly review financial statements and the estate plan to determine if errors were made and how you can either defend yourself or seek to remove an administrator from the estate.

Galloway and Collens has been my go-to law firm in the Detroit Metro area for years. Pleasant and easy to deal with, my experience with each of their attorneys has always been very good. They've helped me with various real estate issues such as title changes, land contract forfeitures, and now property management issues. Best of all they are very responsive and reasonably priced. I highly recommend.
