Estate Litigation:
Losing a loved one is emotionally difficult and dealing with the complexities of his/her estate can be an overwhelming experience. When the intentions of a decedent are clearly stated and legally sound, the process of probate and estate administration should proceed smoothly and without complications. However, in several circumstances, this process can be delayed and result in conflict and litigation.
The probate and administration process can be disputed when inheritors or other involved parties believe their rights have been denied. A fiduciary or trustee can have his/her performance challanged. A spouse can demand his/her right of election. Wills and trusts can be contested for a variety of reasons. There are serious and complex issues associated with estate litigation. When pursuing a claim, it is crucial to have expert legal guidance that will protect your inheritance and ensure that you receive what is rightfully yours.
