Probate litigation occurs when there are legal disputes that can hinder the process of an estate plan, such as:
1. Disputes Regarding Legal Trustees
A trustee is a person who carries out the distribution of assets. Unless a trustee is chosen by the grantor before death, there may be disputes over who should be granted the title of trustee as the deceased will no longer have a say in the matter.
2. Questionable Authenticity of a Will
A will can be determined fraudulent if it is not made officially legal before the grantor’s passing or if it is suspected that the will was created under a poor mental state. When this happens, it can instigate probate litigation.
3. Unfair Distribution of Assets Between Multiple Beneficiaries
If any of the beneficiaries listed in a trust or will consider the distribution of assets to be unfair, they may seek probate litigation to receive what they believe to be owed to them. If an individual is not listed on the estate plan but believes themselves to be a worthy beneficiary, this may also cause a legal dispute.
4. Changes or Unethical Activity Among Legal Parties
If an executor listed on the will (or an administrator selected by the court) fails to respond to their duties or is found acting unethically, it can cause probate litigation in favor of determining a replacement party.
