  • The decedent died without a will (intestate)

  • Family members disagree over who has been appointed executor of the estate or trustee of a trust

  • People disagree over the interpretation of the Will’s instructions for distributing assets

“To me, a lawyer is basically the person that knows the rules of the country. We’re all throwing the dice, playing the game, moving our pieces around the board, but if there is a problem the lawyer is the only person who has read the inside of the top of the box.” – Jerry Seinfeld
