How can estate planning disputes be managed effectively?

Estate planning disputes often arise due to unclear wills, perceived unfair asset distributions, or challenges to the validity of documents. To manage these disputes, mediation or arbitration can be employed before resorting to litigation. This approach not only helps reduce costs but also potentially preserves family relationships. It is essential to create precise and updated estate plans, communicate intentions clearly to all parties involved, and ensure proper legal documentation. During a dispute, demonstrating the testator’s intent and involving impartial witnesses can further aid in clarifying misunderstandings.
