📝 Eleven beneficiaries came to us after will codicils were allegedly signed by the decedent in the final months of his life, while he was bedridden in the hospital. The new documents disinherited some of our clients entirely. Others were left with small cash gifts, totaling roughly $40,000 combined.
⚖️ They had tried to find a lawyer before they found us. On their own and even together, they couldn’t get anyone to take the case. Eleven beneficiaries, a hotly contested probate fight, and no money to pay hourly fees upfront made it a hard case for many firms to take. We took it on contingency, which meant our clients paid nothing unless and until we won.
🧩 Something about the codicils didn’t add up. Through subpoenas, depositions, and witness interviews, Ji-In and Ryan put the pieces together: the timeline, the decedent’s condition, who participated in the preparation of the documents, and who benefited from them. What emerged was a picture inconsistent with what our clients believed was the decedent’s real intent.
👨⚖️ Less than a year later, the case resolved for nearly $2.5 million.
This is what tenacious, detail-driven litigation looks like in a contested probate matter.
Results depend on the specific facts of each case and do not guarantee a similar outcome.
