Litigation

Estate Litigation

Our attorneys are fully prepared to resolve estate matters in court if litigation becomes necessary to faithfully execute the wishes of the decedent.

Some of the more common lawsuits that must be filed on behalf of the estate involve actions to recover assets that have been misappropriated by persons or beneficiaries, especially while the client was in a weakened mental state or unable to resist the directions of those closest to the client just before death.

Lawsuits have also been necessary to contest or protect the Will and the wishes of the client when other people attack the contents of the Will to obtain a distribution not included in the Will.

Our attorneys have also represented many beneficiaries of estates in lawsuits against estate representatives who misappropriate estate assets or fail to protect those assets, which should be distributed to the beneficiaries under the terms of the Will.

Our attorneys are fully prepared to enforce the wishes of the decedent and protect estate assets when litigation is necessary during the administration of the estate. Learn more on our Wills & Estates page.

Real Estate Litigation

Our attorneys are frequently involved in litigation regarding boundary line disputes, quiet title actions, and disputes over ownership rights, including water rights, easements for access to property, and enforcement of covenants that impact our clients.

We often handle cases during which land is acquired through the courts for our clients by legal right, if necessary, rather than by a deed or other signed document.

Our attorneys have litigated complex property disputes and real estate issues created by the actions of parties more than half a century ago. Learn more about our Real Estate Services.

Title Insurance Litigation

In addition to our extensive experience in real estate litigation on behalf of individuals, we have been retained by national title insurance companies for more than three decades to cure defects and handle a wide variety of real estate litigation involving real estate fraud, document forgeries, and disputes over ownership interests, document validity, and enforceability, and many other real estate issues.

As litigation counsel for national title insurance companies for more than 35 years, our attorneys have litigated matters involving commercial lenders, real estate purchasers, borrowers, independent title insurance issuing agents, and title insurance companies in agent defalcations and recoveries under underwriting agreements.

These cases have required us to perfect insured lien priority of financing instruments, cure defects in ownership of title to real estate, defeat claims to property for which a title insurance policy was issued and recover escrow disbursements misappropriated by agents of title insurance companies.

Our work with title insurance companies and representation of insureds has required us to handle cases and claims filed or with venue in courts in more than half of the counties across all of Pennsylvania, all Federal District Courts in Pennsylvania, and courts of other states.
