What is an Estate Tax?
Legal disputes or lawsuits involving an estate, including challenges to a will or trust, or disputes over executor actions.
Legal disputes arising from the administration of an estate, including will contests, claims of undue influence, allegations of fraud, or disputes among beneficiaries. Estate litigation can be complex and may involve multiple parties, necessitating legal representation to navigate the court system.
