Estate litigation arises when a conflict about any aspect of an estate occurs and the courts must step in to resolve the conflict. There are several conflicts that can arise within an estate that would require litigation, such as:
– Contesting the validity of a Last Will and Testament.
– Contesting whether a Trustee is properly performing their duties;
– Objecting to the manner in which a personal representative has handled/dispersed assets of the estate
These are just a few examples of the many issues that can arise in an estate and all would require an attorney with sufficient knowledge of the estate planning process and probate. Contesting the validity of a Last Will and Testament can include mistakes in execution, undue influence when signing the will, or lack of testamentary capacity. A mistake in execution means that the will was not executed within the requirements of Florida Statute §732.502, which set forth specific requirements in creating a valid will.
