Estate disputes can be emotionally and financially costly. A reliable estate litigation lawyer is imperative to resolving estate disputes.
Alternative dispute resolution methods, including mediation and arbitration, are ideal but not always possible. Beneficiaries, trustees, fiduciaries, and other interested third parties can initiate estates contests. Estate conflicts typically involve disagreements about trust or will interpretation. High stakes, contentious disputes call for retaining expert estate litigation lawyers.

The attorneys at Gaslowitz Frankel LLC take on the many aspects of estate litigation, including:
Estate Disputes After Divorce: Divorces can lead to emotionally messy estate litigation, especially if a divorcee neglect to change their beneficiary designations post-divorce. An estate litigation attorney can fend off unsubstantiated claims to an estate.
Estate Disputes Between Siblings: Despite growing up together, siblings can often grow up to have different outlooks and priorities. This can lead to rivalry between siblings, and that makes it difficult to manage an inherited estate. Common causes of estate disputes between siblings include deciding what to do with a family business or an inherited house. An estate litigation attorney can help mediate disagreements or take legal action if necessary.
Breach of Fiduciary Duty: Estate administrators have a legal duty to administer the estate for the benefit of the beneficiaries and estate creditors. Duties for an estate administrator include locating and communicating with beneficiaries, gathering and distributing assets, and paying estate debts. Failure to meet these duties may include self-dealing or failure to provide accounting. If the representative fails or is unable to perform his fiduciary duties, beneficiaries must rely on their legal counsel to penalize their representative or remove him from the estate altogether.
