When disagreements or issure arise regarding the execution of a will, the attorneys at Bercik Law are here to help.

The probate process, that is the managing of a decedent’s estate, can be a complex procedure involving review of the will, the opening of the estate, collecting the assets, paying decedents’ debt and taxes, distributing the remains to beneficiaries, and closing the estate.

Oftentimes, it can be an emotionally-charged ordeal that brings out past pain and resurrects complicated relationships between loved ones.

Why does probate sometimes lead to litigation?

Probate litigation is not necessary in all cases, but the emotional nature of the process lends itself to potential conflicts where legal representation may be necessary and beneficial. If there are disagreements about the executor’s status or the will’s legality, these issues may require litigation.

Further, if the language of the will is vague or if there are differences in the interpretation of the will, this could also lead to potential litigation. If there are disagreements regarding the division of assets, beneficiaries may seek probate litigation support in these instances as well.
