Probate and the passing of assets can often be completed without a dispute. There are many situations, however, when it becomes necessary to bring a challenge against an estate. This may include challenges to the validity of the will, disagreement over whether one should be considered an heir, challenging an executor’s malfeasance, and more. These types of disputes often involve complicated legal and factual questions. It is vital that you retain an experienced attorney to protect your interests. Lindsey Gardner Shneyder is a Melbourne estate and inheritance dispute lawyer who is able to assist with such situations. Contact us online or by telephone today to schedule an initial consultation.
Attorney protecting the rights of heirs during a Florida probate
There are a number of issues which can arise during probate disagreements. Heirs or other interested parties may wish to challenge whether the last will and testament should be considered valid. There may be disputes over whether heirs should be included in the probate or whether or not property belongs to the estate. In some circumstances, the heirs may need to challenge the executor’s decisions and may even need to seek their removal. These types of disagreements can delay the handling of probate and can even result in heirs receiving less than what they should be entitled to. Having an attorney to assist with such situations helps to ensure that these types of issues are handled correctly.
