Learn about probate disputes, common causes of estate conflicts, and how families can navigate disagreements during the probate process effectively.
How long do probate disputes typically take to resolve?
Probate disputes can extend the normal probate process significantly, often taking anywhere from several months to multiple years depending on the complexity of the issues. Simple disagreements over asset distribution might resolve in a few months through mediation, while contested will validity cases can drag on for years through court proceedings. The timeline largely depends on whether parties can reach agreements outside of court or if the matter requires full litigation with depositions, expert witnesses, and trial proceedings.
