In some cases, a court may order that a person's assets be frozen during probate. This can happen if there is a dispute over the assets or if the executor or administrator of the estate is suspected of mismanagement or fraud. A court may also order that certain assets be held in trust to ensure they are not wasted or dissipated before they can be distributed to the beneficiaries. An attorney experienced in probate law can advise on the best course of action if assets are frozen. They can represent the interests of either the beneficiaries or the executor in court.
