★ABOUT THIS ONLINE TALK

Disputes over a deceased person’s estate can quickly become complex, from disagreements among beneficiaries on who should act as executor or administrator, to challenges on the validity of a will, or the distribution of assets. While these disputes are being resolved in Court, the administration of the estate is often delayed.

Discover how this practical legal tool helps preserve and manage the estate during ongoing proceedings. Gain valuable insights from our speakers on navigating contentious probate matters effectively and safeguarding the interests of all parties involved.
