What Is Estate Litigation?
Estate litigation consists of legal conflicts over the distribution of a deceased person’s estate. These disputes can take various forms, such as estate administration conflicts, inheritance disputes, will contests or trust litigation.
The Importance Of Trusted Legal Support
Estate law is extremely complex. So, it can be easy to make costly mistakes in estate litigation without the right guidance.

Common Causes Of Estate Disputes
Estate litigation can arise over many different issues, including:
- Concerns about the validity of a will
- Allegations of undue influence or coercion
- Differing interpretations of a will or trust
- Alleged improper executor or trustee conduct (fiduciary litigation)
- Beneficiary disputes regarding asset distribution
- Disagreements among legal heirs
- Matters involving the rights of spouses and children under state law
Whatever the unique circumstances of your case, our estate litigation attorneys will use their deep knowledge of these sensitive legal matters to protect your inheritance rights or other key interests.
What Does The Estate Litigation Process Involve?
Key steps of this process include:
- Filing a lawsuit: One side formally files a legal claim with a probate court and the other responds
- Discovery: This phase involves the gathering and disclosure of evidence
- Pursuing a settlement: There are various methods for trying to resolve a case out of court, including negotiation and mediation
- Trial: If a settlement can’t be reached, the case will go before a court for resolution
Our team will stand by you through every stage of estate litigation, guiding you and advocating for your best interests.
