Will Construction
On occasion, a will or trust will contain ambiguities regarding the distribution and division of assets, the identity and nature of beneficiaries and tax issues. If the interested parties do not contest the document outright, a construction proceeding may take place. In this instance, interested parties may ask the court for its interpretation and mediation of the ambiguous language.
The estate litigation team of Schwartzapfel Truhowsky Marcus P.C. can assess the trust document or the will and determine whether the ambiguities can favor the client’s interests. We can then present these determinations in court. Schwartzapfel Truhowsky Marcus P.C. represents beneficiaries attempting to clarify a confusing will or trust document as well as fiduciaries endeavoring to administer the disputed estate.
