Probate and Administration

Probate Litigation – Horton and Weisbord

A forthcoming article was reviewed in WILLS, TRUSTS, & ESTATES LAW eJOURNAL, Sponsored by The American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC) Foundation, Vol. 17, No. 10: Apr 29, 2021. The article recognizes that much in the field of Wills is obsessed with pre-determining the outcome of potential litigation. It centers on an empirical study of 443 recent probate administrations from San Francisco, California, offering a glimpse into litigation over Wills. The eJournal is edited by Robert H. Sitkoff. The article on probate litigation can be downloaded at SSRN:
