Areas of Practice: Will Contests & Estate Litigation Unfortunately, when a loved one dies it is often difficult to establish the true intentions of the decedent. Even when there is an estate plan, it can be ineffective and in disarray. Sometimes there is no will, or its existence and/or authenticity is questionable. When an estate containes significant assets and real estate these problems are even more pronounced, emotions run high and disputes often arise between the executor of the estate and the potential beneficiaries. At The Law Office of Scott M. Schutz we aggressively represent our client’s interests in establishing their rights as relatives, beneficiaries and potential heirs to an estate. We work to resolve disputes over contested assets, bank accounts, personal property, and real estate. When necessary, we will aggressively pursue our client’s rights in Court. The authenticity of a will is one of the most frequently contested matters in estate litigation. If a will cannot be established as genuine and legitimate, a question is raised as to the true intentions of the decedent. If a will is made under duress or undue influence, a question again is raised as to the true intentions of the decedent. In probate, beneficiaries may have disputes with a will’s executor over the ownership of real property, the distribution of funds in bank accounts, funds in investment accounts, sale and distribution of stocks, or over the division of valuable personal items belonging to the deceased.
