When Probate Litigation is Necessary

In an ideal situation, a decedent’s will can pass through probate with no issue and no delay. However, any sort of complication that slows down the process could end up requiring litigation to resolve amicably. At the least, a Clarksville probate lawyer from our firm can be retained to review and interpret a will, trust, or other estate plan tool to determine how it was meant to operate and which party has interpreted its instructions more accurately.

Probate litigation could become necessary if:

  • A will is drafted incorrectly and cannot be interpreted reasonably by the probate court.
  • Someone challenges a provision in a will, such as the naming of beneficiaries, and provides convincing evidence that the challenge is validated.
  • A party has reasonable belief that the will was created in undue conditions, such as a third party intentionally influences the testator for their advantage.

Beyond helping you settle legal disputes due to a contested will or complicated probate process, our Clarksville probate attorneys are capable of assisting you with the usual steps and necessities of probate. From start to finish, you can hand your administrative duties to our team, focus on other aspects of your personal or professional life, and allow us to navigate probate on your behalf.

In probate, you can allow us to manage the five key aspects of the case:

  1. Validating the decedent’s will to the court.
  2. Cataloging all property and assets of the decedent.
  3. Appraising significant property pieces, such as homes or businesses.
  4. Using assets to pay off any debts or outstanding taxes.
  5. Distributing remaining assets to beneficiaries as directed.
