Probate is the legal process through which a deceased person’s estate is administered and distributed. This process involves validating the decedent’s will, identifying and valuing assets, settling debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining estate to the rightful heirs or beneficiaries. While it is a necessary legal procedure, probate can be daunting due to its detailed requirements and potential for disputes.
Resolving Probate Disputes
Disputes can arise during probate, such as challenges to the validity of a will or disagreements among beneficiaries. These conflicts can prolong the process and strain familial relationships. Our probate attorneys are skilled negotiators and litigators who can handle:
Will Contests: Addressing claims of undue influence, fraud, or lack of capacity.
Trust Disputes: Resolving conflicts related to the interpretation or administration of a trust.
Executor Misconduct: Ensuring the fiduciary duties of executors are upheld and addressing breaches of trust.
Heirship Claims: Determining rightful heirs and resolving disputes over asset distribution.
