There are a lot of problems that arise that generate litigation during probate or trust administration. A lot of those problems are because of the drafting errors that were made in the initial estate plan. That's why it's so important that the estate plan be prepared by a competent attorney. Other problems arise because of the fact that there are disagreements amongst the children as to what the parent's intentions are. And even if the intentions are clearly stated, children feel slighted, or heirs from a prior marriage contest and dispute with the second wife. And there is lots of different problems involved with blended families.
