What is Estate Litigation?

Estate litigation is a particular area of law that deals primarily with resolving trust and estate proceedings. This form of litigation can pertain to many types of issues that include:

• Will contests
• Trust litigation
• Breaches of fiduciary duties by trustees
• Disputes of undue influence
• Guardianships and conservatorships
• Trust modification

Unfortunately, disputes regarding money and property are common after a loved one passes. These disputes are complex and highly emotional. Although estate litigation is similar to other types of civil litigation, there are some key differences. Therefore, it is essential that you retain an attorney who understands the unique rules that govern contested probate claims, as quickly as possible.
