Probate Litigation
Probate litigation is often the result of hurt feelings or misunderstandings between family members, typically when one family member believes he or she has been treated unfairly in the settling of an estate. When a disagreement between family members escalates into a lawsuit, or it threatens to do so, an experienced probate litigation attorney can be invaluable in resolving the matter, either in court or through negotiation, mediation or arbitration.
