Understanding Estate Litigation

Estate litigation arises when disputes related to the execution, interpretation, or validity of a will or trust surface, or when issues regarding estate administration are contested. These matters often carry deep emotional undertones due to the familial connections involved, making them particularly sensitive in nature.
