Estate Litigation
Estate Litigation: When Complications Arise
Unexpected complications sometimes arise as you work to settle a loved one’s estate. Someone may challenge the validity of a Last Will and Testament; there may be accusations of fraud by the executor or administrator, or they may not distribute assets in a timely manner. A Will contest or any type of estate litigation, if not resolved quickly, can rapidly diminish the remaining assets of an estate.
