What are the Most Common Types of Estate Litigation Disputes?

Estate litigation refers to the legal process of resolving disputes that arise during the administration of a deceased person's estate. These disputes can be complex and emotionally charged, and it is important to have an experienced lawyer to guide you through the process. At Doucet Co., LPA, our attorneys have extensive experience in estate litigation and can provide the legal representation you need.

There are many types of disputes that can arise in estate litigation. Some of the most common include:

Will contests: A will contest occurs when a person challenges the validity of a will. This can be based on a variety of grounds, such as lack of testamentary capacity, undue influence, or fraud.

Disputes over the distribution of assets: Disputes can arise over who is entitled to receive a deceased person's assets, or how those assets should be divided. This can be particularly complicated in cases where a will is unclear or there are multiple beneficiaries with conflicting interests.

Trust disputes: Trusts are legal instruments that can be used to hold and manage assets for the benefit of one or more beneficiaries. Trust disputes can arise when there is a disagreement over the terms of the trust, or when a trustee is accused of mismanaging trust assets.

Guardianship and conservatorship disputes: These types of disputes involve the appointment of a guardian or conservator to manage the affairs of a person who is unable to do so due to age, disability, or other circumstances.
