Resolving Land and Property Disputes
East Liverpool is home to many historic properties and long-standing family estates, making property disputes common in probate matters. Inherited property often becomes a point of contention when multiple parties have a stake in ownership, unclear boundary lines, or when deed issues arise. Suppose you are involved in a land dispute. In that case, whether it pertains to a jointly inherited property, conflicting land claims, or unclear ownership records, our firm has the expertise to guide you through the legal process and protect your property rights.
Disputes over land can create tension among family members, business owners, and neighbors, but having a knowledgeable probate attorney can help bring clarity and resolution to these conflicts. Our legal team is well-versed in Ohio property and probate laws, and we use our extensive experience to resolve disputes in the best interest of our clients. Whether your case requires negotiation or litigation, we are prepared to fight for your rights and ensure that your property is protected.
Executor and Trustee Disputes
Executors and trustees manage an estate and ensure assets are distributed according to the deceased’s wishes. However, when they fail in their duties—whether through mismanagement, dishonesty, or conflicts of interest—it can lead to disputes and financial harm to beneficiaries.
If you believe an executor is not acting in the estate’s best interests, we can help you take legal action to hold them accountable. Here’s how:
- Removing an Executor or Trustee – We help clients challenge and remove executors who fail to perform their duties.
- Challenging Improper Asset Distribution – If assets are mismanaged or distributed unfairly, we advocate for rightful beneficiaries.
- Ensuring Legal Compliance – Executors must act in good faith and follow the will or trust’s terms, and we ensure they do so.
- Protecting Beneficiaries’ Rights – We work to prevent financial loss and ensure fair estate management.
