estate litigation can arise for a number
of reasons generally speaking you have
one or more parties who is either
unhappy or distrustful of what is
happening in the estate perhaps they
believe something was done fraudulently
perhaps they believe some other Act of
wrongdoing has occurred so they want to
bring a claim before a judge in order to
bring up this issue now many claims can
be resolved through effective
communication
so as the attorney I think it is
important to try to resolve claims
at the lowest cost possible and as
quickly as possible which never really
feels like it’s quick because estate
litigation takes time in order to get
through all of the questions that need
to be answered the difficult thing about
estate litigation is that it’s hard to
predict how long it’s going to take so
an attorney should really be trying to
resolve issues
collaboratively where both sides agree
on a solution so that you’re not
spending additional time energy and
money on ongoing litigation
Niles, IL estates & probate attorney Dana Zivkovich talks about the issues that commonly give rise to estate litigation.
