What Is Estate Litigation
Common Types of Estate Disputes:
-
Contested Wills:
A beneficiary or family member may dispute the validity of a will on grounds of undue influence, fraud, lack of mental capacity, or improper execution. - Executor & Trustee Disputes:
Conflicts can arise if beneficiaries believe that an executor or trustee has mismanaged the estate or breached their fiduciary duties. - Inheritance Disputes:
When family members or beneficiaries disagree on how assets should be distributed, disputes often arise, especially in cases where there is no will or the will is unclear. - Estate Trustee Mismanagement:
Concerns may arise regarding the estate trustee’s actions, including improper accounting, failure to follow the will’s instructions, or failure to act in the beneficiaries’ best interests. - Guardianship Disputes:
Disagreements regarding the appointment or actions of a guardian for property or personal care, especially when the individual is no longer capable of managing their affairs.
