- Asset Distribution Disputes: Disagreements over how assets in the estate should be divided among beneficiaries.
- Trust Disputes: These conflicts can occur over the terms of the trust, the administration of the trust, or the actions of the trustee.
- Executor Misconduct: Allegations of mismanagement, neglect, or impropriety by the executor of the estate.
