Even when a comprehensive estate plan has been established with the assistance of an estate planning lawyer, sometimes survivors find themselves with assets tied up in the probate process before disposition can be made. This could be due to the lodging of a protest by an heir, thee questioning of the validity of a will by the probate court or that there were assets for which disposition was not specified in the will. In such instances, an Indiana probate lawyer is essential to represent the wishes of the deceased and the interests of the designated heirs.
