Resolving Inheritance Disputes

An inheritance dispute can arise from a wide variety of circumstances, including:

• If someone believes he or she was unintentionally left out of a will
• If someone contests the contents of the will or trust because they believe the deceased was incompetent at the time the document was drafted and executed
• If someone believes their inheritance should be the same or more than someone else’s
• If someone believes their inheritance has been wrongfully denied to them
• If someone’s inheritance is not given to them because of an issue with concealed assets or mishandling of assets on the part of the person trusted to administer the will or trust
