Key Steps in the Estate Litigation Process
Estate litigation cases are unique, requiring specific strategies for favorable outcomes. We follow these steps in handling estate litigation cases:
- Research: Gathering evidence and assessing the case’s strength is crucial. We like to know as much information as possible before filing or responding to a lawsuit.
- Pleading: The process begins by filing initial pleadings in the probate court. All associated parties are notified and can respond or object to the lawsuit.
- Discovery: Each side seeks admissible evidence to prove their case, including written documents and testimony from unbiased third parties.
- Mediation: In some cases, judges may require mediation, offering the best chance to settle the case. Parties agree to involve a mediator, often a judge or attorney.
- Witness Depositions: Many estate litigation cases require expert witness testimony, usually from medical professionals discussing the decedent’s mental capacity.
- Trial Preparation: This involves deciding if the evidence is sufficient for a successful trial. Once the trial date is set, preparation includes witness preparation, drafting statements, and other tasks.
- Trial: Trials are heard by a judge and can take from a day to several weeks, depending on the case’s complexity.
