However, disputes concerning wills, trusts and the distribution of estates are sometimes inevitable during the probate process.

Some common probate litigation issues include:

• Inheritance disputes: where the beneficiaries disagree on how an estate should be distributed
• Abuse of power of attorney: it is believed that the power of attorney is not acting in the best interest of the person who appointed them
• Guardianship contests: disagreements over who may be best suited to act as a legal guardian for another person
• Administrator appointments: in the absence of a will where the family cannot agree on the appointment of an administrator of the estate
• Validity of a will or trust, including:
  • Lack of testamentary capacity: the testator was not of sound mind when executing the will
  • Undue influence: someone believes the testator was influenced by another person into dividing their estate in a particular way
