The Executor of an Estate, during a Will or Estate dispute has a duty to defend the last Will made by the deceased person. That means that as far as is reasonable in the circumstances, they are to oppose any challenges brought against the Will or the Estate and they are to protect the inheritance of the Beneficiaries named in the Will.
What constitutes defending the Will reasonably is a complex legal question. We make it our business to explain to all Executors their obligations to ensure that they act reasonably throughout a Will or Estate dispute.
An Executor, acting reasonably, will receive their costs of engaging a Lawyer during a Will and Estate dispute from the Estate. If you are an Executor and the Will or Estate you are administering is disputed, speaking with an experienced Lawyer at the Estate Lawyers can make a stressful process much easier for you.
