Our

Trust Litigation

Expertise

As the leading property law firm in Christchurch with a very large wills and estates practice we are also specialists in trust, estate and fiduciary litigation. Our litigators represent corporate, individual, and charitable trustees and beneficiaries. The firm’s litigation work spans the entire breadth of trust, estate, and fiduciary disputes.

 

Often this type of litigation will involve highly emotional inter-family disputes where the manner in which the litigation is handled will have permanent effects on important personal relationships. The litigation may require a more personal and less aggressive approach than typical commercial litigation. We are always mindful of these concerns and tailor our approach to suit the client’s objectives, both commercial and familial.

 

Our team enjoys a reputation for excellence.  Our estate and trust litigation lawyers combine substantial litigation experience with extensive knowledge of trusts and wills law and procedure to effectively represent corporate, individual and charitable trustees and beneficiaries. We will handle every stage of litigation within the firm.
