The future is uncertain more so than ever. Estate Planning is one way for an individual to take charge of his/her future by documenting financial assets and health care choices while they are able.
When it comes to litigation in terms of probate, it means that there are matters of a will being contested. Probate litigation is not necessarily adversarial, as there may be issues such as vague language that would influence multiple parties that need to be resolved. Common “contested matters” that are determined by probate courts can include:
- Contesting the validity of a will
- Contesting guardianship
- Breach of fiduciary duty
- Termination of trusts
- Reformation and modification of trusts
- Trust and will construction
Many situations can lead to probate litigation, including multiple marriages, not keeping wills and estate plans updated, or simply poor planning. Probate litigation cannot always be avoided, so it is important to have a qualified probate attorney there to help.
