Disputes
Disputes can arise during the administration of a person's trust or estate. The disputes may be as a result of the fiduciary not following the terms of the trust or Last Will and Testament, or as the result of questionable circumstances. For instance, was the person competent or under any duress when he or she created or changed the Last Will and Testament? Did someone misappropriate trust or estate assets?
