New Jersey Trusts and Estates Litigation with Forms gives practitioners the legal foundation and practical tools needed to manage the full range of disputes that arise in estate and trust matters. The treatise covers will contests, probate challenges, fiduciary duties, breach of trust claims and trust litigation under the New Jersey Uniform Trust Code. It also offers procedural guidance for discovery, motion practice, trial preparation and appeals, along with strategies for complementary dispute resolution.

The book delivers both legal analysis and real world instruction. Attorneys learn how to identify valid grounds for contest, evaluate fiduciary conduct, pursue remedies, and prepare matters for settlement or trial. A comprehensive set of forms supports pleadings, accountings and appellate filings, allowing practitioners to work efficiently and with greater accuracy.

Ethical guidance helps attorneys understand conflicts of interest, confidentiality and professionalism concerns that routinely arise in estate disputes. This focus on responsible practice strengthens client representation and supports compliance with New Jersey standards.

Written by Peggy Sheahan Knee, Robert A. Knee and Kylie Sheahan Chasse of The Knee Law Firm, the treatise reflects decades of focused experience in New Jersey trusts and estates matters. Their insight gives practitioners actionable strategies that improve outcomes and streamline litigation. The Knee Law Firm was highlighted in the New Jersey State Bar Association Daily Briefing on December 16, 2025 for the case Estate of Morenon, where the Appellate Division affirmed the lower court decision in the Knee Law Firm’s favor on all counts.

Attorneys should select this title for its clear explanations, practical forms and dependable litigation guidance tailored specifically to New Jersey trusts and estates practice.
