Key Areas of Estate Litigation Law
- Challenging a Will
- Claims that the will is invalid due to:
- Lack of mental capacity
- Undue influence or coercion
- Improper execution or fraud
- Claims that the will is invalid due to:
- Family Provision Claims
- When someone (often a close family member or dependent) believes they were unfairly left out or inadequately provided for in the will.
- Executor Disputes
- Conflicts over how the executor is managing the estate (e.g. delays, mismanagement, conflict of interest).
- Intestacy Disputes
- Disagreements when someone dies without a will and the estate is distributed under default intestacy laws.
- Disputes Over Trusts
- Challenges related to family trusts or testamentary trusts (trusts set up in a will).
