Estate Litigation

What happens when the estate settlement isn't settled?

Estate Litigation

Estate settlement doesn’t always go smoothly. Mixing family with money can sometimes create a highly volatile combination! Parties may contest a will (particularly if there is uneven distribution of assets among family members) or challenge how an estate should be administered.

If a family member dies "intestate" (without a will) or with a will that is vague or imprecise, disputes may arise. There are many other reasons people wrestle over estate settlements; these may result in actions like estate litigation, requests to "fire" an executor, and much more. Contested estates are a relatively common occurrence here in Ocean and Monmouth counties.
