Protecting what matters in estate, trust, and real estate disputes

Homestead Law represents individuals and small businesses in probate and real estate matters.

Attorney Angela Schmitz has worked with hundreds of clients affected by family disputes over property. Whether a family member is a tenant of your rental, a family LLC is in turmoil over property decisions, or a family member has passed away with an unclear estate plan, these cases call for skilled handling.

Often the death of a loved one is followed by a period of conflict between siblings, extended family, or other heirs. And often the disputes involve real estate or other valuable property. Whether you are in court already, believe it’s time for court intervention, or want to avoid court, an experienced probate litigation attorney can analyze your case and clearly layout your options.

Lawsuits about wills, trusts, and lifetime property transfers are different from other litigation. They are usually handled by probate courts instead of regular civil courts, they are usually on a fast track, and they are subject to procedures and rules that are different from the usual lawsuit procedures and rules. An attorney familiar with this landscape is essential. Whether you are defending against unfair accusations, or seeking to enforce your rights as an heir or property owner, Homestead Law can guide you to a favorable outcome, whether that’s in court or through a settlement.
