Executor and Estate Administration Disputes
The executor (or administrator if there is no will) has important responsibilities when handling the estate. However, disputes can and do arise.
An executor may, for example, disagree with a co-executor’s decision, or the beneficiaries may feel that an executor (or administrator) is not acting quickly enough or is mismanaging assets and want their removal.
If you are experiencing difficulties in handling an estate, whether in your capacity as an executor (or administrator) or as a beneficiary, we understand that these challenges can be frustrating. As a beneficiary, you likely want to receive your inheritance as soon as possible and may wish to take action if the administration of the estate is delayed.
Similarly, executors (or administrators) can feel frustrated if they are caught in disputes with beneficiaries and are unsure how to proceed.
