Fiduciary Litigation

Black Law P.A represents corporate and individual fiduciaries, including trustees, executors and guardians in complex fiduciary litigation. Black Law P.A. recognizes our role in representing these fiduciary clients is critical to the role they play in representing each of their clients, and the Firm is familiar with the issues these fiduciaries encounter on a daily basis and in litigation.

Black Law P.A. has experience in the often emotionally-charged will contest and will construction matters, including determination of heirs, undue influence and lack of capacity matters. We recognize that when disputes between family members arise over family businesses, property, trusts and estates the stakes are often very high and, if not skillfully handled, the consequences can be irreparable

Black Law P.A. is equipped to handle these cases in Florida probate, civil and federal courts all the way through an appeal. And when the cases require creative solutions that cannot be achieved in court, the group has the experience to handle them in negotiation, mediation or arbitration. In some cases, resolving intra-family issues outside of the courts in these alternative forums removes the matter from public scrutiny to the clients’ benefit. Black Law P.A. also recognizes that the most effective defense is often a good offense.

“The process is always dynamic and requires 360-degree awareness of all aspects of an engagement – that’s part of why we enjoy it so much. We are flexible, and sensitive to the need to regularly calibrate strategies, action plans, and case budgets to maintain the clarity of your goals and objectives (which sometimes themselves change as a matter progresses). Light footprint, sustained onslaught, or anything in between… we are adaptable to the needs of your situation because while size and scope may vary, the core principles and our passion for solving your problems are enduring.”
