The Qualified New Jersey Estate Litigation Lawyers at the Choi Law Firm Represent Clients in a Wide Range of Estate Disputes

The experienced New Jersey estate litigation lawyers at the Choi Law Firm can help you protect your rights, interests, and obligations when you’re in the middle of a dispute or lawsuit about:

• Will contests – A will contest is an objection to the validity of a will, filed by a purported heir or beneficiary of an estate, which alleges that the will does not reflect the intent of the decedent (because the decedent withdrew the will or made a new will during their lifetime) or that the will was made while the decedent lacked testamentary capacity.
• Estate expenses – Heirs or beneficiaries of an estate may sometimes file litigation to challenge the estate administration expenses incurred by an administrator or executor, including the fees collected by the administrator or executor themselves or estate funds spent to hire attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, or other professionals.
• Administration of the decedent’s estate, including operation of estate assets – Challenges may also be raised against decisions made by the administrator or executor, including with respect to the operation of assets belonging to the estate such as commercial/income property.
• Estate accounting – Beneficiaries or heirs may also lodge objections to an accounting filed by an administrator or executor, arguing that there are errors or discrepancies or alleging that the accounting reflects misconduct by the administrator/executor.
• Challenges to the appointment of an executor/administrator, or petitioning for the replacement of an administrator/executor – Beneficiaries or heirs may also file suit to contest the appointment of an executor appointed by a will or an administrator, or petition to remove an executor or administrator, on grounds that the executor or administrator has a conflict of interest or is otherwise unfit to serve.
• Determination of bequests or inheritances – Beneficiaries/heirs or administrators/executors may file a petition with the court to determine what inheritance a beneficiary or heir is entitled to, especially if the terms of a will are not clear. Beneficiaries/heirs may also file litigation to demand certain pieces of property in an estate that have sentimental or unique value, such as jewelry, art, or antique furniture
• Winding up of the estate – Beneficiaries and heirs who believe that an administrator/executor is taking too long to administer an estate may file suit to force the winding of the estate so that they can receive their inheritances.
