Addressing Probate Issues Right Away

If you are concerned about a probate issue, we encourage you to consult with our lawyers at the earliest opportunity. North Carolina has strict limitations on the right of interested parties to contest a will or the administration of an estate. Losses due to breach of fiduciary duty and misuse of trust funds become more difficult to remedy as time goes on. An issue such as a restraining order to prevent the inappropriate disposition of a body requires immediate action.
