A will dispute lawyer at Massey LLP has seen cases that involve an estate being empty or depleted. This could happen if the deceased outlived their money, but beneficiaries can believe there should be more left behind and launch a will challenge. Our estate litigation lawyers have seen instances where a person appointed power of attorney thinks the money and assets are theirs to use as they see fit. This depletes the estate and results in smaller bequests than anyone expected, which prejudices other beneficiaries.
