CHICAGO PROBATE LAW |
|
|
Common estate litigation involves disputes over the validity of a will or the meaning of a valid will. There are also disputes over who the heirs or legatees are or over who owns property claimed by the estate. Litigation where an interested party charges the executor or administrator with wrongdoing is also common. There are also suits by estates to recover amounts owed or for wrongful death. Similarly there are suits against estates for amounts owed or for property damage or personal injuries. The only common denominator is the expense. Litigation is very expensive. Unfortunately litigation involving family members is often not rational and the costs escalate way out of proportion to the amount involved. One way to avoid family litigation is to consult everyone about everything and to act only when there is some kind of consensus. || Back
