Inheritance disputes are legal conflicts that arise among beneficiaries, family members, or parties involved in the distribution of a deceased person’s estate. These disputes can be triggered by contested wills, disagreements over asset distribution, family provision claims, executor disputes, or conflicts related to trusts established by the deceased.
A contested will occurs when one or more parties challenge the validity of the deceased person’s will. This can involve allegations of undue influence, lack of capacity, or improper execution. In inheritance disputes, contested wills are addressed through legal proceedings to determine the will’s validity.
Family provision claims involve disputes over the distribution of the deceased person’s estate, typically when a family member or dependent believes they have not received adequate provision. These claims are designed to ensure that eligible individuals receive a reasonable share of the estate.
Executor disputes arise when conflicts occur between individuals responsible for managing and distributing the deceased’s estate. They are typically resolved through mediation, negotiation, or legal action, depending on the nature and severity of the dispute.
Trusts can be a source of inheritance disputes when beneficiaries or interested parties contest the administration or distribution of assets held in trusts established by the deceased. Disputes related to trusts are addressed through legal proceedings, mediation, or negotiation.
Inheritance disputes involve complex legal and emotional aspects. Seeking legal assistance is crucial to navigate these complexities, protect your rights, and increase the chances of a favourable resolution. Legal experts can provide guidance, representation, and support throughout the process.
