Estate litigation can be complex and emotionally charged. Whether you’re dealing with a contested will, a dispute over trust assets, or allegations of fiduciary misconduct, having an experienced estate litigation attorney can make a significant difference. Here are five common reasons why you might need to hire an Arizona estate litigation attorney:

1. Contested Wills: One of the most common reasons for estate litigation is a contested will. If you believe that a will does not accurately reflect the deceased’s wishes due to undue influence, fraud, lack of capacity or another reason, an estate litigation attorney can help you challenge the validity of the will in court.

2. Trust Disputes: Trusts are often used to manage and distribute assets, but disputes can arise over the interpretation of trust terms, the actions of trustees, or the distribution of trust assets. An estate litigation attorney can represent your interests and help resolve these disputes.

3. Fiduciary Misconduct: Personal representatives, executors, trustees, and other fiduciaries have a legal duty to act in the best interests of the beneficiaries. If you suspect that a fiduciary is mismanaging assets, self-dealing, or otherwise breaching their duties, an estate litigation attorney can help you hold them accountable.

4. Beneficiary Disputes: Disagreements among beneficiaries can lead to litigation, especially when there are questions about the interpretation of the will or trust.

5. Community Property Disputes: Arizona is a community property state. During marriage, people sometimes don’t understand their rights and duties in relation to community property. This can sometimes lead to disputes after a spouse dies. An estate litigation attorney can help sort out messy community and separate property issues.


These are just a few examples of common issues estate litigation attorneys regularly face. We are here to help!
