PROBATE LITIGATION & WILL CONTESTS


Not every probate proceeds smoothly. Disagreements can arise over the validity of a will, the conduct of a personal representative, or how an estate is being administered. These disputes can be emotionally charged, especially among family members, but they often involve significant legal and financial stakes that shouldn't be ignored.

Common Types of Probate Disputes:
  • Will Contests — Challenges to a will's validity based on claims of lack of capacity, undue influence, fraud, or improper execution
  • Disputes Over Personal Representatives — Concerns about mismanagement, self-dealing, or failure to fulfill fiduciary duties
  • Disputes Among Heirs or Beneficiaries — Disagreements over the interpretation of a will or the distribution of assets
  • Claims Against the Estate — Disputes involving creditors or third-party claims

If you believe a will doesn't reflect a loved one's true wishes, or if you have concerns about how an estate is being handled, we can help you understand your options and, if necessary, represent your interests in Colorado probate court.
