Will disputes, family relationships, and emotions

On Behalf of | Oct 8, 2017 | Wills |

There are many facets of estate planning and a myriad of issues can arise after someone passes away. Unfortunately, disputes between beneficiaries and the executor of an estate sometimes take place, which can create even more difficulties for people who may already be struggling with heavy emotions after losing a loved one. Moreover, disagreements may arise between beneficiaries. For example, two siblings may disagree with the way in which their parent decided to distribute assets. If you are facing any of these challenges, approaching these matters with care is paramount.

Regrettably, some family relationships have been permanently shattered as a direct result of a will dispute or another estate-related issue. In order to reduce the likelihood of this happening to you, it is very important to approach a dispute carefully. Having said that, you also want to make sure that your rights are not trampled on. If an executor has cheated you out of assets you were entitled to, for example, you should not be fearful of standing up for yourself.

If you are setting up an estate plan, you may want to think about potential ways to reduce the likelihood of negative emotions after you pass away. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to prevent these types of disputes from arising. It is vital for you to strive for a positive and healthy outcome, regardless of the estate problem you are facing.
