Understanding Estate Dispute

Estate disputes arise when there is a disagreement over the distribution of a deceased person’s estate. This can occur for several reasons, including: 

• Contested Wills: Challenges to the validity of a Will based on claims of undue influence, lack of capacity, or lack of testamentary capacity. 

• Family Provision Claims: Claims made by eligible persons who believe they have not been adequately provided for in the will. 

• Executor Disputes: Conflicts regarding the actions or decisions of the executor of the estate. 

The law provides specific avenues for resolving these disputes, but the process can be intricate and time-consuming. It’s essential to have a knowledgeable lawyer by your side to navigate these challenges effectively.
