Problems with Estate Administration


Estate Attorneys in Colorado

Throughout the course of an estate’s administration, many complicated legal problems can arise. The beneficiaries of a will may have disputes with the personal representative regarding the distribution of estate assets, the timing of such distributions, the title/ownership of real estate and personal property, and the division of personal items belonging to the deceased.


Furthermore, the beneficiaries may have reason to believe that the personal representative is knowingly concealing or misappropriating estate assets, which may give rise to a civil action for fraud, conversion, civil theft or breach of fiduciary duty. Other times, the personal representative is simply negligent in fulfilling his or her legal duties, and has not intentionally or maliciously attempted to defraud the beneficiaries. However, in either scenario, to resolve such disputes in Court, a skilled and experienced estate attorney is required.
