Our attorneys achieved a favorable settlement, against all odds, for the surviving spouse of a wealthy individual whose adult children sought to nullify the marriage after death. The case presented many challenges, including a late-in-life marriage, a judicial declaration of incompetence, and a longtime family trust that excluded our client.
Our litigation team overcame the difficult circumstances through diligent advocacy, eliciting helpful testimony from the other side, finding strong witnesses for the marriage, and aggressively pushing the matter to trial. The other side caved and offered our client a substantial sum of money, rather than leave their fate to a jury.
