A contested probate proceeding (also known as fiduciary litigation) is a process that seeks to recover property or money that has been wrongfully withheld from its intended beneficiary. The proceedings can include an attempt to discover assets in order to pay the debts of the deceased, a lawsuit for fraud, duress, or undue influence over someone of weaker persuasion, an attempt to invalidate a deed or beneficiary designation based on lack of capacity, and a long list of other available remedies.
