Estate Litigation and Administration

At Moore Clarke DuVall & Rodgers, P.C., we handle a range of tax and estate administration matters. From our offices in Albany, Valdosta, Tifton, and Savannah, we serve a diverse clientele throughout Georgia and the surrounding states.

Our legal team includes attorneys with diverse backgrounds and focus areas and exceptional experience. We use a team approach to pair each client with lawyers who have experience in that client’s specific legal issue, so we make sure all of our clients receive the most personally tailored, efficient solutions for their needs.

We represent clients in legal matters involving:

  • Estate administration
  • Public charities, private foundations, and tax-exempt organizations
  • Guardianship and conservatorship proceedings
  • Trust administration
  • Probate
  • Trusts and estates litigation
  • State and local tax issues
  • Tax compliance and collection matters

Estate Administration and Probate

Our lawyers represent estate administrators, trustees, executors, and other fiduciaries in the estate administration and probate process. With a thorough understanding of the complex laws regulating these proceedings, we ensure our clients handle all accountings, asset transfers, and other responsibilities while remaining in compliance with the law and fulfilling their fiduciary obligations.

 

Litigation

Our attorneys serve executors, trustees, and estate administrators, as well as potential beneficiaries in disputes and litigation. In some cases, we are able to resolve these disputes through mediation or other alternative dispute resolution methods. When disputing parties are unable or unwilling to resolve conflicts in this manner, however, our attorneys represent our clients’ interests aggressively in the courtroom.
