Inherited Wealth: how would your ancestors look at you now?

Suing a family member over a revocable trust, Palm Beach probate or a Florida estate?

When your grandfather, or his lawyer, reviewed his or her will years, and decades, ago, do you think they envisioned that his grandchildren, as adults , would sue each other?

Many times, inherited wealth is a burden to some.

Money divides families and legal fights erupt over family trusts, Florida probates and how estates are handled.

Would your ancestors have envisioned your lawsuit? Family member suing family member?

Brother versus sister? Cousin filing an inheritance lawsuit against another cousin?

Regardless, these are issues which you may want to consider when you are making your own estate plan.

If it’s possible that your children or grandchildren might litigate over probate down the line, like when you are not around, consider what steps you can take now to diminish that.

Ask your Palm Beach estate planning lawyer about trying to minimize potential estate litigation. That way, more wealth should stay in the family, and out of the pockets of the “unintended estate and trust beneficiaries”— the probate litigators.
