Case Conclusion Date: July 15, 2021

Practice Area: Family Estate Disputes

Outcome: $275,000 settlement

Description: We represented the beneficiary of two IRA accounts owned by a decedent. The executor of the decedent's estate filed suit to rescind or reform the decedent's beneficiary designations to favor herself. We filed a separate suit against the executor, alleging that she violated the no-contest clause in the decedent's will by pursuing her suit. After a successful mediation, our client received a $275,000 settlement.

Do You Need To Contest A Will In Virginia Or Speak To An Estate Law Lawyer Regarding A Will, Trust Or Estate Dispute? 

When a person dies, or even before dying, their wealth is placed into the hands of someone, such as a trustee or an executor. This entity has a fiduciary duty to manage the wealth properly and to make sure it’s given at the appropriate time to the beneficiaries who were entitled to receive it as part of their inheritance.

However, sometimes, these people don’t fulfill these duties. When that happens, it’s necessary to have an experienced estate law attorney take action in court. The passion of The Mottley Law Firm is to protect the legal rights of our clients throughout Virginia, and we want to hear from you.
