There are often conflicts during the probate process, and this is especially common if there is no comprehensive estate plan or Will that gives explicit instructions on how assets should be distributed. If a conflict arises, the courts will listen to both sides of the argument. A conflict during the probate process should be treated quite similarly to any other legal conflict, so whether you are a surviving spouse, a child, a beneficiary named in the Will or a nominated Executor, you should have an attorney representing your interests. An attorney can be helpful throughout the probate court process. This is especially true if you have been appointed as the Executor or personal representative of the estate.
