Helping You Avoid Kentucky Probate Disputes
When an estate goes through probate, there is a need for sound legal counsel. Those designated as will executors and estate administrators have a tremendous responsibility. Kentucky law holds them to a fiduciary standard, which is the highest standard under the law. Simple accounting errors can result in criminal sanctions or civil lawsuits. Further, any appearance of impropriety in handling the estate could lead to disputes and lawsuits.
Our probate attorneys help executors and administrators through the process of probate. We make sure that you follow the appropriate regulations and procedures in the probate process. We also ensure you meet all the accounting requirements to avoid problems.
The best way to avoid problems in probate is to create an effective estate plan in the first place. An estate planning lawyer from our firm can help you create an estate plan that will go through probate without issue.
Resolving Probate Disputes Cost-Effectively If They Arise
In some cases, disputes simply cannot be avoided. Our Kentucky lawyers help clients arrive at efficient resolutions. In most cases, we use mediation to keep the issue out of court. When disputes of this kind do go to court, we provide aggressive litigation representation. The need for attorney representation in probate litigation can involve matters such as the following:
- Will contests
- Trustee removals
- Executor fees
- Administrator appointments
If you are an administrator or a potential beneficiary, we can provide smooth, efficient dispute resolution services for issues that arise. We know how to help our clients get results in probate cases.
