Estate litigation arises when disputes occur regarding the administration or distribution of an estate. In Ontario, these disputes can involve wills, trusts, beneficiaries, executors, or other related matters. Navigating estate litigation requires a deep understanding of the law and a strategic approach to resolving conflicts effectively. With experienced legal guidance, individuals can protect their rights and ensure a fair outcome.

Common Types of Estate Disputes

Estate litigation can stem from a variety of situations, including:

1. Will Challenges: Contesting the validity of a will due to claims of undue influence, lack of capacity, or improper execution.

2. Executor Disputes: Addressing concerns about an executor’s actions, such as mismanagement of assets or failure to fulfill duties.

3. Beneficiary Disputes: Resolving conflicts between beneficiaries regarding the interpretation or distribution of an estate.

4. Dependent Support Claims: Seeking financial support for dependents who were not adequately provided for in the will.

5. Trust Disputes: Handling disagreements over the management or terms of a trust.
