Beaufort Probate Abuse/Fraud Attorneys
What is Probate Abuse/Fraud?
The actions surrounding probate, which is the process of filing and validating a will in court, are often susceptible to abuse or fraud. The division of assets, debts, estates, and taxes of the deceased must either follow a will and/or South Carolina law. However, after the death of a family member, disputes often arise with regard to the will, inheritance, or dispersal of assets. Sometimes, family members may take advantage of you or there may be an unequal division of the assets, debts, or taxes of the deceased.
Probate abuse and fraud can occur when:
- Someone is influenced into signing a legal document related to their estate
- Fraudulent execution of a will
- A family member or guardian steals or cons to get a larger share of an estate or inheritance
- There is a misuse or abuse of a power of attorney
