Call 602-903-6853 for an initial consultation.

The lawyers at Schneider & Onofry, P.C. recognize the sensitive nature of probate proceedings that often involve children, vulnerable adults, and family situations. We believe these matters, like all legal proceedings, should be taken care of as efficiently and economically as possible, always keeping at the forefront the best interests of our clients.

Our estate and probate litigation services include:

Wills and Estate Administration

While estate planning with wills, trusts, living wills, and powers of attorney can minimize the likelihood of litigation, it cannot necessarily ensure that a person's heirs will avoid probate or disputes altogether. A family member may contest a will if he or she is disinherited, one may wish to contest the guardianship arrangement for a loved one's children, or other disputes may arise if the will or trust is unclear.

Contested Estate and Probate Matters

Our years of experience in handling probate litigation matters and our knowledge of Arizona law can help you resolve any probate dispute or will contest as efficiently, quickly, and economically as possible. We represent heirs, beneficiaries, and other interested parties, and we can answer your questions and guide you to resolution of disputes involving:

  • Testate or intestate estates
  • Disputed heirship and inheritance rights
  • Creditor claims and managing debt
  • Contested wills and trusts
  • Trust reformation and will construction proceedings
  • Claims involving executors, administrators, guardians, and trustees

Probate Court: Guardianships and Conservatorships

In addition to providing a legal way to close a loved one's estate and dispute estate planning documents, the probate court also handles the applications and appointments of guardians and conservators. Our probate attorneys can assist you in seeking a guardianship for a minor child or dependent adult, contesting guardianship, and defending against a guardianship dispute.
