Orphans’ Court Litigation
Orphans’ Court Litigation has evolved far beyond its original purpose in the 1700’s of protecting the interests of minors in legal proceedings.
Orphans’ Court Proceedings
Most Orphans’ Court proceedings today focus on administration and conflict resolution for Will Contests, Trust Challenges and Estate Administration issues.
Orphans’ Court, Probate and Estate Administration
The Orphans’ Court is responsible for all kinds of probate and estate administration issues including, but not limited to, executor or administrator misconduct or malfeasance, the protection of beneficiaries’ rights and interests, and the rights of creditors and other claimants against an estate.
Estate Administration Disputes
Executor, Administrator and Trustee negligence or malfeasance claims, fiduciary fraud, elder fraud, undue influence claims, forgery claims and many other estate administration disputes and controversies fall under the purview of the Pennsylvania Orphans’ Court. The court also hears all matters involving the protection of both minors and incapacitated individuals.
