Common Reasons for Probate & Trust Litigation

Probate and trust litigation arises for numerous reasons. Most often, we handle cases involving clients seeking the inheritance they believe they are owed. However, several other situations can catalyze litigation. 

These include but are not limited to the following:

  • Challenges to the validity of a will or trust document. Frequently, these stem from concerns about the competency of the decedent when they created an estate plan and undue influence.
  • Claims that a trustee or executor has breached their fiduciary duty. Such claims might allege fraud or mismanagement of assets.
  • Creditor claims against an estate. Disputes can give way if it is uncertain how much a creditor is owed, which of multiple creditors should be paid first, and whether a claim is legitimate.
