People picture estate litigation as a fight over the will. A forged signature. A surprise heir. A deathbed change.

In my experience, fewer than 1 in 100 of these disputes are about the will itself.

Most of the fights happen after everyone agrees the will is valid. The fights are about the person carrying it out.

Here's what families fight about:

🔹Delay. The estate has been open for three years and nobody has received a dollar.
🔹Information. Beneficiaries don't know what the estate holds, what it earned, or what it spent.
🔹The family business. Who runs it, who gets a salary, and whether it should be sold.
🔹The house. Sold too cheap, sold to a relative, or not sold at all.
🔹Self-dealing. The executor bought an estate asset, hired a friend, or paid himself first.
🔹Fees. Executor commissions, attorney bills, and what they are paid from.

The will says who gets what. The executor decides when, how, and at what value. That's where the conflict lives.

If you're an executor or trustee, your decisions will be judged later, possibly by a court. Document them now.

Every spring and fall, the team at The Glennon Law Firm picks up trash along the miles of our adopted stretch of roads. It's a small contribution and we're glad to do it for the community we work and reside in.

This fall, we're forced to sit it out. Sidewalk construction has much of our roads closed off and we'll stay out of the crews' way while they finish.

We'll be back in the spring. Once the new sidewalks are in, we plan to get to work to do our part in helping the road look its best.

Thanks to the crews doing the work. We'll see you in a few months!

On Honor Flight Rochester Mission 98, we viewed the names of the Rochester-area veterans displayed on the National Military Monument, which was very special for everyone to see.

Seeing their names was a big moment, but it's not the only one. Some of the best parts of the trip happen between the memorials: on the bus, at lunch, waiting at the gate.

That's when the stories come out. It's always a moving experience for everyone involved.

Our founder, Peter Glennon, was part of the crew for Honor Flight Rochester Mission 98. Peter co-founded HFR, serves as its board chairman and is an Air Force veteran with 24 years of service. On this mission, he led Bus 1.

The day started before sunrise and ended with a crowd at the airport. In between, veterans stood at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the rain, walked the World War II and Korean War memorials and found their own names displayed at the National Military Monument. Twenty-one Livingston County veterans who could not fly made the trip by bus, because the promise is simple: leave no veteran behind.

The Glennon Law Firm is proud to be veteran-owned and proud to support every Honor Flight Rochester mission. Mission 99 takes flight Oct. 24-25.

Recently, Honor Flight Rochester completed Mission 98 and passed a milestone 18 years in the making. Since the first trip in 2008, 5,077 Western New York veterans have traveled to Washington, D.C., to see the memorials built in their honor, all at no cost to them.

Mission 98 also did something new. For the first time, Honor Flight Rochester sent a bus for veterans who could not fly for medical or other reasons. Twenty-one Livingston County veterans and their guardians made the trip by road, through a grant from the NYS Dwyer Program in partnership with Livingston County and the Livingston County Veterans' Office. The motto is "leave no veteran behind," and this mission made sure it applied to every veteran.

Our founder, Peter Glennon, was part of the crew. Peter served 24 years in the Air Force, co-founded Honor Flight Rochester, and serves as its Board Chairman. As part of the crew that weekend, he watched 80 veterans from every branch come home to a crowd that came to say thank you. Many of them served in Vietnam and never got that welcome the first time.

The Glennon Law Firm is proud to be veteran-owned and grateful to every veteran, guardian and volunteer who makes these missions possible. Mission 99 takes flight Oct. 24-25. Learn more at honorflightrochester.org.

This weekend, more than 5,000 Western New York veterans will have made the trip to Washington, D.C., with Honor Flight Rochester to see the memorials built in their honor.

Mission 98 takes place this weekend, Oct. 3rd to 4th. When the veterans arrive to Rochester Airport on Sunday, 5,077 veterans will have made the trip to Washington, D.C. It's all been free to the veterans and it started with the first trip in 2008.

This mission also includes something new. For the first time, Honor Flight Rochester is sending a bus for veterans who can't fly for medical or other reasons. Twenty-one Livingston County veterans and their guardians will make the trip by road. A grant from the NYS Dwyer Program covers the cost, in partnership with Livingston County and the Livingston County Veterans' Office.

In all, 80 veterans will go to Washington this weekend: 52 who served in Vietnam, two from Korea, and others from the Cold War and post-1975 eras. They represent every branch.

Who is on this historic mission’s crew? Well, our founder, Peter Glennon, who also co-founded Honor Flight Rochester and serves as its Board Chairman. He's an Air Force veteran with 24 years of service. The Glennon Law Firm is proud to be veteran-owned and proud to support HFR's missions.

People ask why a business litigator also handles divorces. The answer is that our clients' problems do not arrive in neat categories. The dentist buying out his partner is also the husband whose spouse owns half the buyout. The executive fighting a non-compete is also the trustee of her father's estate.

Boardroom disputes and bedroom disputes have more in common than anyone admits. Both involve a partnership, a set of promises, a pile of assets and sometimes...at least one party who feels betrayed. The only difference is the paperwork.

We built a firm around the person, not the file. Business disputes, executive employment agreements, estate litigation and divorce for business owners and professionals, handled by one team that already knows the whole story, with the discretion our clients expect. From the boardroom to the bedroom, you stay in control of what you built. (585) 294-0303

Did you know that many of the most significant trust and estate disputes never turn on whether the will is valid? A father leaves the family company equally to three children. One runs it, one never worked there, one is executor. The questions that follow are about who controls the bank accounts, whether profits keep flowing and who gets to see the books. Those are control questions, not probate questions.

Once the fight is over a business, fiduciary conduct or missing money, it looks a lot more like commercial litigation than estate administration. That changes what kind of lawyer you need.

Imagine a father who spent 30 years building a successful company. His will leaves everything equally to his three children. One has managed the business for years. One has never worked there. The third is named executor of the estate.

Everyone expects the transition to be straightforward.

Then the questions begin:

◾️Who has authority to make business decisions tomorrow morning?
◾️Can the executor remove the president of the company?
◾️Should profits continue to be distributed?
◾️Who controls the company's bank accounts?
◾️What happens if one sibling refuses to share financial information?
◾️Can someone sell the company's real estate?

Notice something.

None of those questions are really about whether the will is valid. They are about control and transparency.

And once control becomes the issue, the dispute often becomes something much larger than probate.

An interesting higher education employment dispute out of Florida caught our attention.

Broward College was preparing to vote on terminating its president without cause. But his employment agreement required mediation of disputes first. He went to court, the termination vote was put on hold, and the parties ultimately mediated and negotiated a separation reportedly worth about $430,000.

There’s a good lesson here for executives and professionals.

The question isn’t always just, “Can they fire me?”

The better question may be: What does my contract say happens if they want to fire me?

Notice. Severance. Bonuses and other compensation. Performance reviews. Mediation or arbitration. Even the process the employer has to follow.

And sometimes the real goal isn’t keeping a job after the relationship has broken down. It’s making sure the exit is handled the right way.

Employment contracts tend to get the most attention when they’re signed. Sometimes they matter much more when the relationship ends.
