Estate Litigation Lawyer Maple Ridge, BC
Are you concerned about the validity of a loved one’s will or trust and wish to challenge it in probate court? If you believe that your loved one drafted these documents under undue influence, you may have grounds to challenge their validity, and petition the BC probate court to either use a previously completed will or follow British Columbia inheritance laws to properly disperse your loved one’s assets. Our Maple Ridge estate litigation lawyer can advise you of your options under the law and initiate legal action on your behalf.
Estate litigation can become complex fairly quickly, especially if you seek to prove undue influence and have a will invalidated. You may need extensive and specific evidence to prove that your loved one was not in their sound mind or would not have made the decisions contained in the will had another person not exerted pressure on them. This can be difficult if your loved one has already passed away.
Perhaps you disagree with the actions of your loved one’s estate administrator or trustee. We can initiate estate litigation if the individual fails to fulfill their fiduciary duty and seek damages if their mismanagement or malicious intent causes you to suffer fiscal losses. As experienced estate planning attorneys, we know well what is required under the law, and what reasonable execution of an estate administrator’s fiduciary duty is. We build a strong case supporting your position and present it to the court, seeking the best possible outcome for your case.
