Probate Litigation

Honoring legacies. Protecting dignity.

Protecting Rights, Dignity, and Legacies in Life’s Most Important Moments

At Stacey Anderson Law, we help individuals and families navigate some of the most difficult transitions life can bring — when disputes arise over wills, trusts, guardianships, and the protection of vulnerable loved ones.

Probate litigation is about more than paperwork. It’s about protecting dignity, honoring true intentions, and ensuring fairness when emotions run high and futures are at stake.

I focus on contested probate and elder law matters, providing strategic courtroom advocacy and steady guidance during sensitive times.

Areas of Focus

Contested Wills and Trusts
I represent heirs, beneficiaries, and fiduciaries when the validity of a will or trust is challenged due to claims of undue influence, lack of capacity, fraud, or improper execution.

Guardianship and Conservatorship Litigation
When families disagree about who should serve as a guardian, or whether a guardianship should be imposed at all, I advocate to protect individual rights and ensure the best outcomes for those who cannot speak fully for themselves.

Elder Protection and Financial Exploitation
I assist families in uncovering and addressing financial abuse, undue influence, and other forms of exploitation that threaten the well-being of elderly loved ones.

Mental Health and Capacity Disputes
I handle cases involving questions of mental competency and advocate for appropriate protections — or for restoring rights — when capacity is in question.

A Practical, Principled Approach

Every probate dispute is unique, but all share one thing in common: real people with real stakes.

I approach each case with:

  • Clear, strategic courtroom advocacy

  • Respect for family dynamics and emotional complexities

  • A focus on practical resolutions that protect what matters most

When settlement is possible, I work to achieve it. When litigation is necessary, I am fully prepared to advocate with skill, dignity, and strength.
