These disputes can involve various types of controversy. Alleged mental incapacity of the person making the will (testator) or trust (grantor), alleged undue influence upon the testator or grantor by an heir or beneficiary, conflicting will or trust document interpretation or construction, or improper conduct of personal representatives, trustees, or beneficiaries are just a few types of controversy.
