General Practice Attorney Helps With Probate And Estate Litigation

Juridical concept about Probate and Estate Administration? with inscription on the sheet.


Probate is the process where the state recognizes a person to manage the estate of a deceased person. The Last Will and Testament of the decedent names an Executor or Personal Representative. Otherwise, if there is no Will, the Court will select an Administrator.
 
Probate begins when the Executor submits to the Court the Will and death certificate. When no Will exists, Probate begins when an interested party petitions the Court. They retain an estate litigation attorney and file the appropriate petition.
 
Probate or estate litigation takes place when an interested party makes a claim or raises a dispute during the probate process. A general practice attorney can help you through probate litigation process if a will is contested (meaning an interested person is challenging the entire Will’s validity), administrator appointments, Executor fee disputes, Trustee removals, and spousal elective share.
 
Administrator appointments occur within the court system when there is no Will and the family cannot agree on who should serve as Administrator. Disputes over who serves as Administrator often result in a contested hearing, and hiring a general practice attorney is vital. Improper procedures and evidentiary failures may result in the wrong person gaining control over the estate.
 
Executor fee disputes occur when an interested party believes the personal representative has overcharged the estate. An experienced general practice attorney can follow the procedures and evidentiary rules to provide the judge with the evidence and testimony to allow the judge to demand fees returned.
