Estate Litigation Lawyers In Wilkes-Barre Handling Complex Legal Matters
Discussing and preparing one’s estate can be a complicated process and delicate matter for all parties involved. This can be intensified when problems arise and possible legal issues need to be addressed.
For example, are you the beneficiary of an estate that has not received your inheritance in a timely manner? Are you a family member of an agent under a power of attorney who is not properly managing the assets of the principal? Do you have questions regarding the timely filing of inheritance tax returns? Do you find yourself asking “Where did all the money go?”
These are just a few of the many sensitive questions that can cross your mind when you are involved in an estate.
In their years of practice, our attorneys have seen related instances such as:
- Taxes not being fully paid
- Estate accounts were never properly opened
- Inheritance tax returns were not filed timely
- Agents commingled assets
Not to mention many other unfortunate occurrences that created problems for our clients.
At Vinsko & Associates, P.C., our estate litigation lawyers in Wilkes-Barre can assist you in getting to the bottom of what actually happened and provide possible solutions for moving forward.
Our Will Contest Lawyers In Wilkes-Barre Uncover The Facts
Executors and agents are bound by law to account for their financial transactions. That means, as a beneficiary, you are entitled to have information regarding those transactions. If there is an issue, then it becomes necessary to challenge the estate and its representatives to protect from waste and abuse.
Believe it or not, sometimes wills or power of attorney documents are signed by people who are not completely competent. There are also times when there is undue influence by a third party. In these cases, you can challenge the will through legal action.
Proving that a will is invalid can be a difficult process. This is one specific instance where having the right legal team on your side is invaluable. Our will contest lawyers in Wilkes-Barre are thorough with researching claims and know how to uncover all of the facts necessary to prove your case in a court of law.
In some rare cases, there are even instances of outright theft. If you have encountered any of these matters, then you need to have an experienced litigator on your side. These cases can be tricky and a regular estate attorney may not have the experience you need to win.
Estate Litigation Lawyers In Wilkes-Barre Who Fight For You
A common misconception is that all lawyers go to trial or have the skills needed to win a court case. Like many professions, lawyers will focus on a certain concentration or area of expertise. Not all lawyers choose to focus on litigation or taking action to resolve legal disputes inside the courtroom.
What makes Vinsko & Associates, P.C., different from other firms is the fact that our attorneys are not afraid to go into court to fight on behalf of our clients. More importantly, our lawyers are actually familiar with the inside of the courtroom and trying cases before a judge.
Serious matters like these require equally serious attorneys who are committed to fighting legal battles on your behalf. Our lawyers have the experience and level of dedication needed to win.
Let our lawyers fight for you so that you get what you are entitled to!

Representing Your Interests In Estate Litigation
When searching for an estate attorney, make sure that you find an attorney that is willing to go to court to protect your interests. Many estate attorneys do not routinely enter the courtroom to protect against contentious situations, or to defend or prosecute estate contests. Our attorneys have experience challenging fiduciaries (agents of a power of attorney, an executor that has failed at his/her duties) in court and holding them accountable. After all, the estate assets belong to all of the beneficiaries, not just a few. In the case of a power of attorney, the agent cannot act outside of the principal’s best interest. If they do, litigation may be necessary. Do not trust these important matters to just any attorney, get someone that knows the inside of a courtroom well. Contact Vinsko & Associates, P.C.

Our team also has experience handling emergency guardianships in situations where immediate action is necessary.
