Description

Providing an in-depth discussion of contentious probate, this manual explains the law and procedure in this area in a concise fashion. It highlights specific problems which practitioners are likely to encounter in practice and provides advice on how to set about solving them. For each problem the authors identify and explain the various courses of action available. Practitioners are taken step-by-step through the procedures involved and the book examines the advantages and disadvantages of each course of action, pointing out potential pitfalls along the way. Advice is offered on such areas as administration and payments into court; cost of litigation; do's and dont's of administering an estate pending litigation; dealing with estates with a foreign litigation element; and applications for injunctive relief.
