Taylor Carlucci (née Smoske) is an associate in Hahn Loeser’s Trusts and Estates Practice Area, where she focuses her practice on probate and fiduciary litigation, estate and trust administration, and estate planning. Taylor is licensed in both Ohio and New York.
Taylor specializes in handling adversarial probate matters, including contested trust and estate administrations, will and trust contests based on claims undue influence, lack of capacity, duress, and fraud, fiduciary litigation and breaches of fiduciary duty, and many others. Taylor both prosecutes and defends these claims on behalf of her clients, and also counsels clients in the early stages of trust and estate administration to avoid later litigation amongst family members.
