Trust, Estate, and Real Estate Litigation

We represent clients in all manner of disputes over property in the Massachusetts Superior Court, Probate Court and Land Court. Whether our clients are contesting a Will or a Trust, challenging a Personal Representative (“P.R.”) or Trustee, defending their position as P.R. or Trustee, or fighting over the division of interests in property (including, most often, real estate), we pride ourselves on prioritizing common-sense, practical solutions while also preparing to take our cases to trial if needed. Typical litigation matters include petitions for partition of real estate, creditor claims, actions for and objections to P.R. and Trustee accounts, business succession disputes, and will contests.

Recent changes to federal estate tax law have sign Recent changes to federal estate tax law have significantly increased the exemption amount. Congress approved an exemption of up to $15 million per individual, or $30 million per married couple, reducing federal estate tax exposure for many families.

At the state level, the rules are very different. Massachusetts has not increased its estate tax exemption, which remains at $2 million per person. This creates a potential gap between federal and state planning considerations.

Understanding how federal and state estate tax laws interact is essential to effective planning. Working with Fegreus & Broderick, LLP can help ensure your estate plan reflects current laws and is structured to minimize unexpected tax exposure.
Fiduciary roles come with limits many people don’t Fiduciary roles come with limits many people don’t expect.

While individuals generally have the right to represent themselves in legal proceedings, Personal Representatives and Trustees step into a different role once they are acting on behalf of an estate or trust with multiple beneficiaries.

At that point, the fiduciary is representing a separate legal entity and the interests of others, which typically requires licensed legal counsel for court matters. Proceeding without proper guidance can lead to delays, added costs, and personal liability.

Knowing when legal representation is required helps fiduciaries protect both themselves and the beneficiaries they serve.
