Executors, trustees, beneficiaries and families often need clear guidance after a death. Hardesty Law Group, P.C. handles New Jersey probate and trust administration, will contests, fiduciary disputes, beneficiary claims and related litigation, with close attention to tax filings, fiduciary duties and practical next steps.
Probate administration often includes admitting a will, identifying and valuing assets, notifying creditors, resolving claims, preparing tax filings and distributing property.
In a contested matter, counsel addresses will challenges, undue influence, lack of capacity, executor or trustee removal, fiduciary accountings, disputed distributions and beneficiary rights. Early review of the governing documents, account titles, beneficiary designations and business interests clarifies deadlines and preserves options.
To discuss a probate or fiduciary matter, call (973) 206-9200 or submit the consultation request. Representation begins only after the firm completes a conflict check and the client and firm sign a written engagement agreement. Consultations take place by telephone or in person.
