A probate litigation attorney helps manage estate plans through challenging, emotional, and legal situations. They handle conflicts among family, friends, and anybody else involved in the decedent’s estate, contesting or defending wills and trusts, and pursuing personal representatives who breach their duties.
A will contest is a formal objection challenging the validity of a will based on the grounds that the will does not accurately reflect the will writer’s intent. There are many different causes for contesting a will in Florida, including, but not limited to:
- Lack of mental capacity
- Undue influence claims
- Probate fraud
Personal representatives who breach their fiduciary duty may face consequences, including surcharges, beneficiary rights, or removal.
