Representing Southeast Kansas Clients Since 1982
My name is Mark Werner, and I am an estate litigation attorney in Crawford County, Kansas. I have represented parties on all sides of these disputes over the course of my career, including spouses, children, beneficiaries, wards, guardians, conservators, personal representatives (executors) and other fiduciaries.
I have handled cases of every type as well, including:
- Will contests (challenges) based on grounds of fraud, undue influence, lack of testamentary capacity or unmet statutory requirements
- Spousal elective share claims
- Trust disputes
- Contested guardianships and conservatorships
- Allegations of “power of attorney” abuse
- Breach of fiduciary duty claims against personal representatives/executors, trustees, guardians and others
In many cases, my consultive approach to working with clients and pragmatic approach to litigation have allowed me to achieve timely results that satisfy my clients’ needs without exceeding their budgets or exhausting the estate’s assets.
