The Krieg DeVault Difference

Our bench strength also includes Certified Public Accountants, tax attorneys, and corporate and real estate lawyers equipped to address the diverse challenges that can arise in complicated trust agreements and estate plans.

The Work We Do
We represent corporate fiduciaries (i.e., administrators and trustees) in a wide variety of disputes involving the administration of trusts and estates. We have appeared on behalf of corporate fiduciaries in probate and trial courts throughout Indiana and brought those litigation matters to conclusion, either through motion practice, trial, appeal, or alternative dispute resolution. We understand that trust and estate litigation often brings to bear deeply personal and highly sensitive conflicts between family members. We strive to be the steady hand that guides our corporate fiduciary clients through that often emotionally-driven process.
