Common Causes of Inheritance Disputes

Here are some common reasons why inheritance disputes may occur:

1. Lack of Clarity in the Will

Unclear or ambiguous wording in a will can lead to confusion and disagreements among beneficiaries.

2. Family Conflict

Existing family tensions or rivalries can intensify during the inheritance process, resulting in disputes.

3. Undue Influence

If a beneficiary exerts undue influence on the deceased when creating or amending a will, other beneficiaries may challenge its validity.

4. Invalid Will

If a will is not executed correctly or does not meet legal requirements, it may be deemed invalid, leading to disputes.
