Estate & Asset Protection Attorney and Managing Partner, Shannon Pawley, offers tips for readers to consider when beginning to establish estate planning documents in order to avoid family conflicts and litigation after death.

DECATUR, GA, May 29, 2021: Shannon Pawley, Managing Partner of The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm, has posted a new blog on the law firm’s website entitled “Detailed Estate Planning Documents Help To Avoid Inter-family Conflict After Death.” Ms. Pawley acknowledges the complication of relationships and helps families avoid complications that often happen when parents pass on.

Pawley writes, “Let’s face it, anyone who’s ever been involved in any relationship – and no one can avoid that – knows that relationships are complicated.” She adds, “Familial relationships are often the most complicated. Conflicts can arise between spouses, siblings, generations, and in-laws.”

As Pawley notes, “The reasons for inter-family conflicts are as varied as the different personalities that exist. And, after parents pass on, the conflicts can get really heated and nasty if there have been challenges prior to death.” She emphasize, “The importance of having detailed estate planning documents cannot be overestimated whether there are relationship conflicts in your family or not. You can make everything smoother for your loved ones and if there are conflicts you can help your loved ones avoid litigation by creating a very detailed estate plan.”
