https://lawyerfightsforyou.com/common-acts-of-fraud-in-trust-or-probate/ (Winter Haven, Florida) (Orlando, Florida) Founder and CEO of Bloodworth Law, PLLC, attorney L. Reed Bloodworth discusses the difficult task of proceeding with a will contest or a trust dispute. Fraud, in regards to a will or a trust, is defined as deceiving, tricking, coercing, or lying to the grantor to cause them to establish a will or a trust that favors the person that was committing the bad acts. Some common examples of fraud related to Wills and Trusts include fraud in the Inducement, and, fraud in the execution. Fraud in the inducement occurs when someone convinces a testator or grantor -- through a deception -- that something fraudulent is true and that the will or trust, or provisions thereof resulted from that deception. Fraud in the execution occurs when a person misrepresents a document in an attempt to get a testator or grantor to sign a will or a trust. It’s a tough first step to take, but filing a Florida will contest or trust dispute if you believe that the will was procured by fraud is the responsible action to take. Don’t wait to take action, you may have as little as 20 days to file. Call Reed at 407-777-8541 with your questions or visit https://LawyerFightsForYou.com.

https://lawyerfightsforyou.com/what-d... (Orlando, Florida) Probate litigation and trust litigation attorney Reed Bloodworth answers the common question: What is probate and what does a beneficiary do in probate? Probate is a formal court process after a person passes away and has a will that must go through the courts to settle debts, assets, taxes and beneficiary rights. Probate is not something that should be handled without the support of an attorney and a qualified CPA. A beneficiary should stay in touch with the personal representative and keep up with paperwork that is sent. Probate litigation may arise if there is a dispute over the personal representative’s actions or lack of attention to responsibilities. Sometimes beneficiaries are questioned or there are legal issues over assets, taxes or debts. If you have issues or questions you should talk to a very experienced probate litigation lawyer. Litigation = legal action in a courtroom. A lawsuit is a serious decision and if you’re a beneficiary and feel that there is a problem with your family will, call Reed and talk about what happened to you. Call 407-777-8541.
