Executors are entrusted with the significant responsibility of managing and distributing the assets of an estate according to the wishes of the deceased. However, there are instances when executors fail to fulfill their duties properly, leading to disputes and concerns among beneficiaries. At Joshua G. Curtis Law, we specialize in contesting executor actions in New Jersey, providing expert legal representation to ensure executors are held accountable and beneficiaries’ rights are protected.
Executor misconduct occurs when an executor does not perform their duties in accordance with the law or the terms of the will. This can include mismanaging estate assets, failing to provide accurate and timely information to beneficiaries, delaying the distribution of assets, or engaging in self-dealing. Contesting an executor involves legally challenging their actions or inactions to rectify any harm done to the estate and its beneficiaries. This process is crucial for ensuring that the estate is managed appropriately, that the wishes of the deceased are honored, and that beneficiaries receive their rightful inheritance.

However, if necessary, we are fully prepared to represent your interests in court, advocating vigorously to protect your rights and ensure the estate is administered according to the law.

By holding executors accountable, we help maintain the integrity of the estate and protect the beneficiaries’ rightful interests.
