TRUST & PROBATE LITIGATION

As a Partner and the Chair of the Trust and Probate Litigation Practice Group at Ferruzzo, Shannon primarily focuses on the areas of Trust and Estate matters, including the litigation of elder abuse, conservatorship, and guardianship matters.

Shannon represents fiduciaries, beneficiaries, and interested persons in contested and litigated administrations involving claims such as breach of fiduciary duty, accountings, estate distribution, will and trust contests, Marvin claims, omitted-heir claims, restraining orders, undue influence, and elder abuse. Her trial experience was initially grounded in criminal law while working at the District Attorney’s Office. From this sound basis, she expanded into family law and civil law while in private practice, and now focuses on trusts and estates.

Ms. Papazis understands the unique challenge that clients face while participating in estate litigation with their family members and strives to promote reunification and early case resolution wherever possible.
