Common Beneficiary Rights Issues We Handle

• Disputes Over Will Validity: If you believe a will was created under duress, was altered improperly, or lacks proper legal formalities, our team can help contest the will in court.
• Trust Disputes: Beneficiaries of trusts often face issues with how assets are being managed or distributed. We represent clients in disputes with trustees over breaches of fiduciary duty, mismanagement of assets, or improper distribution.
• Delayed Distributions: Executors and trustees have a legal obligation to distribute assets to beneficiaries within a reasonable timeframe. If this process is delayed, our attorneys can help push for action or challenge the executor or trustee’s conduct.
• Executor Misconduct: If an executor is not fulfilling their duties or is mishandling estate assets, we can assist in holding them accountable and ensuring that your rights are respected.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I believe I’m not receiving the inheritance I’m entitled to?

If you believe that you are being wrongfully denied inheritance or your rights as a beneficiary are being violated, it’s essential to contact a qualified attorney as soon as possible. Our team can review the terms of the will or trust, investigate any potential issues, and provide you with options for resolving the dispute.

How do I know if a will is valid?

A will must meet specific legal requirements to be valid, such as being signed by the testator and witnessed properly. If you suspect that the will in question was created under undue influence, fraud, or without following proper legal procedures, we can help you challenge its validity in court.

What if the executor or trustee is mismanaging the estate?

If you believe the executor or trustee is mishandling the estate, failing to distribute assets in a timely manner, or engaging in any form of misconduct, you may have grounds to seek their removal or take legal action against them. Our firm has extensive experience in dealing with executor and trustee misconduct and can help you protect your interests.

How long do I have to contest a will or trust in New Jersey?

In New Jersey, there are strict time limits for contesting a will or trust. Generally, you must contest the will within a few months after the probate process begins. It is critical to seek legal advice as soon as possible to understand your time frame and protect your rights.

Can ASK Law Firm help with both estate litigation and planning?

Yes, in addition to handling beneficiary rights disputes, ASK Law Firm also specializes in estate planning. If you’re looking to draft or revise a will, trust, or other estate documents, we can assist you in ensuring your wishes are properly documented and legally sound.

Do I need a lawyer if I’m simply a named beneficiary?

While you may feel that as a named beneficiary, you can handle things on your own, it’s always wise to consult with an attorney when you believe there may be issues with the estate or trust administration. Having legal representation can help protect your interests and ensure that your rights are enforced.
