How can probate litigation be avoided?

Depending on the situation, there are steps that you can take to mitigate and even avoid the stresses of probate litigation.

In probate cases, advance communication can make the process of probate administration easier on all parties involved. Family members may sit down before the death of a loved one and have a conversation about the distribution of assets.

Open and honest communication can help proactively avoid litigation over disputes between fiduciaries and conflicts between beneficiaries and fiduciaries, as well. Having your estate plan documents in order is also important.
