Aitkens & Aitkens PC

Guardianship
Our experience with probate litigation and familiarity with Georgia guardianship law enable us to provide reliable advice and representation in matters concerning the appointment or performance of guardians and conservators to manage the physical care or property of the elderly, the incapacitated, or minors who hold or inherit substantial property in their own name.

Wrongful Death
In addition to full-service representation in wrongful death lawsuits, our skilled trial lawyers also represent victims of permanent injury resulting from intentional acts or negligence.
Sex Crimes
Trial lawyer Terri Aitkens represented a young woman who was brutally stabbed, raped and left for dead in a ravine after she was accosted outside a bar. She suffered permanent injuries to her hands from trying to fight off her attacker, knife wounds to her stomach and ribs, and of course the lasting emotional trauma of a sexual assault.
Robbery
We reached a substantial settlement, holding the bar responsible for the unlit parking area and lack of outdoor security measures, even though the owners knew of a robbery/assault just one week earlier in the same dark alley and several prior assaults and carjackings in the vicinity.
Theft
Assault
Forgery
Undue influence or fraud â€” Did a child, sibling or friend of the deceased inherit the bulk of the estate or a disproportionate share because of coercion, duress, trickery, fraudulent misrepresentations or outright forgery? In a common scenario, a family member swoops in when the person’s health is failing and isolates and convinces the decedent to alter the will in his or her favor or to leave other heirs out completely.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
No matter where you live in the United States, or even abroad, our Atlanta probate litigation attorneys can represent you in a dispute concerning the interpretation of a will, the terms of a trust, or estate tax liability issues involving a Georgia trust or estate. We represent heirs, beneficiaries, executors, personal representatives, and trustees in Georgia trust or estate litigation. For further information about our ability to represent your interests effectively in probate or federal Tax Court litigation, contact the trust litigation attorneys at Aitkens & Aitkens, P.C.
Wills
Regardless of where you live in the United States, our litigation attorneys can represent you in Georgia probate disputes, will contests, claims involving a breach of fiduciary duty by a personal representative, or claims for fraud, concealment or self-dealing associated with the administration of a probate estate in Georgia. In some cases, a personal representative needs protection from the unreasonable demands of a claimed beneficiary or assistance with the defense of claims for alleged mismanagement of probate assets. For further information about our ability to represent your interest effectively in probate estate cases and in probate court in Georgia, contact the litigation attorneys at Aitkens & Aitkens, P.C.
Trusts
We will explain the function of irrevocable life insurance trusts, inter vivos grantor trusts (also known as revocable living trusts), credit shelter trusts, and charitable remainder trusts as means of transferring assets out of your estate, while keeping them within your substantial control. For many families, the combination of a will and a unified credit remainder trust, which takes advantage of federal tax credits to offset estate and gift tax liability, will be sufficient to insulate your estate from the bite of estate taxes. For other families, additional alternatives should be explored, such as special needs trusts for disabled children, family LLPs to hold the assets of family businesses, or family business succession planning to address the future operation of successful family businesses.
Power of Attorney
I wanted to sueÂ a sibling because she used a Power of Attorney to name herself beneficiary on all retirement/savings accounts of my mother when my mother suffered from Alzheimerâ€™s disease. My mother always desired that her estate be split equally among her children. When I discovered that the bulk of her estate passed outside of the Will (and directly to my sister) due to use of a power of attorney designation, I hired Aitkens Law FirmÂ to pursue my claims. Robert and Terri are well versed in handling abuse of powers of attorney and breach of fiduciary duties. They have expertise in dealing with geriatric doctors and neurologists who treat patients with dementia. They know how to discover needed information and pursue claims against fiduciaries who have unduly influenced the elderly. TheyÂ aggressively pursued my claims for breach of fiduciary duty against the power of attorney holder, and we were able to resolve the claims prior to trial of the case.
Probate
We have represented the other excluded heirs who are deprived of their rightful inheritance, or the heir whose name is included on the account. We also represent executors who are trying to determine the character of an asset when the will is silent about it. These are sticky disputes that hinge on the applicable probate law and discerning the intentions of the deceased. If the person died without a will, it only complicates matters.

Foreclosure
The attorneys of Aitkens & Aitkens, P.C. represent executors, administrators, trustees, heirs, and beneficiaries in estate tax disputes with the IRS, U.S. Department of Justice, or the Georgia Department of Revenue. We analyze and evaluate the validity of assessments, liens, notices, judgments, foreclosure actions, and garnishments to determine their enforceability under federal or state law. Even when valid, estate tax liabilities can often be mitigated in the course of settlement negotiations by seeking to eliminate or reduce interest and penalties as well as an abatement of the tax.
Tax Law
Our probate lawyers can represent either an heir or the estate in will contest litigation involving the terms of the will, the status of an heir, or the testamentary capacity of the decedent. Our familiarity with state and federal probate and tax law also enables us to help resolve problems concerning the character of particular assets: Were they transferred by gift during life, were they duly transferred into trust, or are they property of the estate to pass by will? We can also represent either an heir or the personal representative in disputes concerning the administration of the estate and any problems relating to breach of fiduciary duty.
