Common Reasons for Estate Disputes

• Trust Disputes: Disagreements over the administration of a trust or the actions of a trustee can lead to disputes that require legal intervention.
• Inheritance Conflicts: Family members may disagree on the distribution of assets, leading to conflicts that can only be resolved through legal channels.
