Call us today:803.385.2114While estate administration often takes place without complications, that is not always the case. Disputes among family members may arise, or an executor may deviate from the will that is in place. Probate Litigation is the process of resolving any issues that arise during probate through the filing of a petition or lawsuit by an heir, beneficiary, executor, or administrator. These cases can be lengthy and hard to prove, so a probate attorney is a valuable asset to have on your side.
If you believe you have grounds to introduce a lawsuit, you should consult with an experienced probate attorney to start the process. They will be able to advise you on the best course of action. When you are ready to file your claim, your attorney can take care of that and organize any available paperwork and evidence to support it. Your attorney will likely present your evidence in court to prove your case, but it is important to note that probate litigation can take a significant amount of time to be concluded.
