Overview
Tiffany Bentley counsels high net worth individuals and families, as well as professional fiduciaries, through estate and trust disputes, probate issues, and divorce and related matters. Her practice includes all aspects of fiduciary litigation and family law.
As a probate and family court litigator, Tiffany works to identify each client's best possible outcome and then charts the necessary path through discovery, settlement negotiations, and all the way to trial where necessary. As this line of work often centers around traumatic and deeply personal life events, such as the death of a loved one or the end of a marriage, she takes great pride in guiding clients with both experience and empathy.
On the trust and estate side, Tiffany's practice includes contested probates, guardianships, and conservatorships; as well as postmortem challenges to the validity of trusts, deeds, beneficiary designations and lifetime transfers, and various challenges to the administration of estates and trusts. In the area of family law, she assists clients through divorce and custody matters; prenuptial and postnuptial planning; and post-divorce contempt and modification actions.
In addition to her regular practice, Tiffany volunteers as a conciliator in Middlesex and Worcester County to help resolve cases and unclog court dockets. She also dedicates a substantial amount of time on pro bono matters, representing children in custody disputes through the Attorneys Representing Children program.
