A contested estate can arise from many different circumstances during the probate of a will. Someone may challenge another's administration of an estate, disputing the administrator's actions or inactions. For example, the administrator may be accused of theft from the estate, delay, or breaching fiduciary duties.

When contesting a will there are many grounds to base the challenge including undue influence or lack of capacity. There may be accusations of forgery, photocopies or a second will may appear. Our attorney, Adam Bernick, has considerable experience with estate administration litigation arising from all of these circumstances. He knows Pennsylvania law as it relates to contested wills and contested estate administrations.
