New York Probate Court Matters and Estate Litigation
A person's will dictates how his or her estate will be distributed. In the absence of a will, New York statute dictates who inherits. With or without a will, there are many potential conflicts and complex matters that may arise. Legal knowledge and courtroom experience count in asserting your rights and resolving these disputes.
The Buffalo probate attorneys of Robshaw & Voelkl, P.C., have 65 years of combined experience handling probate court matters and estate litigation. We practice in Erie County, Niagara County, Chautauqua County and surrounding jurisdictions of Western New York. We also welcome out-of-state clients seeking answers or advocacy in local probate proceedings.

Western New York Estate Litigation Attorneys
Some clients need counsel and assistance in carrying out their court-appointed duties. Some hire us to investigate their suspicions and others hire us to defend them against allegations. Some simply want the peace of mind that a local attorney is advocating for their interests.
We have the focused expertise in wills and trusts, estate administration and probate litigation to tackle the most complex cases. We are willing to wade in to sibling rivalries, accusations of misconduct and other high-conflict disputes, and unlike some attorneys who depend on court-appointed work we are not worried about ruffling feathers.
