Probate Litigation

During the administration of a last will and testament or a trust, an interested party may file an action in the Florida courts to protect his or her interest in the estate. An interested party may contest a last will and testament (the “Will”) on one or more of the following grounds: 1) lack of capacity (the person did not have legal capacity when he or she executed the Will); 2) undue influence (a relative, caretaker, or friend persuades the person to alter his or her will in favor of the relative, caretaker, or friend); or 3) validity of the will (the will is not executed properly under Florida law or forgery). Other disputes which can be filed during the administration of an estate are breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference with inheritance, disinheritance, or objection to a statement of claim.
