PRACTICE AREAS:

INFORMATIONAL RESOURCES:

We focus on the following practice areas: Litigation of trusts and estates: We represent trustees, private fiduciaries, administrators, executors, beneficiaries, heirs, guardians, conservators, will and trust contestants and respondents, elder abuse claimants and defendants, creditor claimants and respondents, and other interested parties involved in trusts and estates disputes. We help clients when disputes come up regarding the administration of trusts and estates, such as trust validity, no-contest clauses, breach of trustee fiduciary duties, will and trust contests, statutory diqualification, characterization of property, apportionment of estate taxes, and many other issues. Administration of trusts and estates: We represent trustees and executors in the day to day administration of trusts and estates such as full probate of decedent's estates, summary probate where available, proper administration of trusts including subtrust funding, estate tax returns, settlement of account, and distribution. Elder law litigation: Elder abuse occurs when an elderly person is either mistreated physically or psychologically, or defrauded financially. Our elder law litigation practice focuses on financial elder abuse. Financial abuse may be committed by any person, including one who is responsible for the care or custody of, or stands in a position of trust with respect to, an elder and may be accomplished by an agent utilizing a power of attorney to gain control over the elder's financial assets and property. We represent senior citizens, or their heirs and beneficiaries, where an elder has been taken advantage of financially or deprived of property due to their advanced age. Estate planning: We help clients distribute and dispose of their property according to well-prepared plans. This practice includes trust creation, Special Needs Trusts, GRATS, QPRTs and other specialty trusts. At the Sheryl E. Fuhr & Associates, we have the experience and skill necessary to take the complexity out of estates and trusts administration. Our extensive litigation experience allows us an informed view of potential difficulties that our clients may face. We give our clients the confidence that their estate and trust issues are in experienced hands. Our goal is to provide prompt, efficient, effective solutions to the problems that our clients face concerning the disposition and distribution of their estate or trust assets in probate.
