As probate litigation lawyers, we are passionate about getting the right results and we will fight hard to achieve that end. In short, our probate litigation services rival those offered by the best firms in Boston, all at a value they cannot match.
Our Probate Litigation Services
The probate litigation attorneys at Wilchins Cosentino & Novins represent clients in all aspects of probate-related litigation in the Probate & Family Court, including will contests, interpretation of wills and trusts, guardianships, conservatorships, actions to reform or rescind trusts, as well as legal issues concerning estate administration. We help clients through all stages, including preparation of all court-related pleadings, appearances at motion hearings, conferences and trials and conducting discovery, including written discovery and depositions of parties and third parties.

Why WCN for Litigation
Right-sized. We are large enough to have the depth of expertise and knowledge, while small enough to be available, accessible and personal.
Exceptional Value. We deliver exceptional value by being efficient; offering value that Boston-based firms cannot match.
I highly recommend the services of Attorneys Michael B. Cosentino and Peter Covo for all of your personal, family, or business needs. Michael's vast experience, knowledge, and expertise led to a most successful outcome under nearly impossible contractual deadlines and circumstances. Without Michael, I am 100% certain there would have been no resolution nor closure. Looking forward to working together on other matters.
