Common Sources Of Probate Disputes
Personal representatives and beneficiaries often face challenging situations during probate administration. Examples include:
- Mismanagement of estate assets by executors or administrators
- Disputes over asset valuation and proper distribution
- Claims of self-dealing or conflicts of interest by estate representatives
- Disagreements over executor compensation
- Challenges in accounting and estate inventories
- Removal proceedings against personal representatives
Addressing these issues requires a detailed analysis of estate documents, a thorough investigation of contested actions and a strategic approach to litigation risks. Early intervention by a qualified lawyer can help prevent costly escalation of disputes.
