Fiduciary Litigation
The fiduciary litigation attorneys of Lewis Wagner & Trimble represent clients in a wide range of contested matters involving wills, trusts, guardianships, and estate administration throughout Indiana. Our team has handled numerous complex disputes related to the distribution and management of estates and trusts.
We work closely with beneficiaries, fiduciaries, and advisors to navigate contested proceedings efficiently and strategically, including matters involving alleged undue influence, incapacity, breach of fiduciary duty, and contested guardianships.
Because our litigators work alongside our estate planning and administration attorneys, we bring a practical, informed perspective to disputes—often identifying issues early and pursuing resolution through litigation or alternative dispute resolution when appropriate. We are frequently engaged by corporate fiduciaries, trustees, guardians, personal representatives, and beneficiaries seeking experienced counsel in fiduciary litigation.
