Generally, to have grounds for an appeal, you must be able to show from the record before the probate court that the probate judge made a mistake in interpreting or applying the law, committed an error in deciding what evidence could or could not be considered, or had no basis from the facts before it to support the decision made. <br><br>To enable them to effectively carry out their duties, fiduciaries generally are granted a great deal of power; however, with power comes the potential for abuse. The sad reality is that many fiduciaries improperly use their power for personal gain or other unethical reasons instead of using it to make decisions that benefit the persons they represent. When they breach their duties in this way, it is considered fiduciary misconduct.\n<br><br>Luckily, if fiduciary misconduct is discovered early, legal actions can be taken to reverse the damage the fiduciary caused. By working with Kane Ferguson\u2019s skilled fiduciary misconduct attorneys, you can devise a strategy to achieve your litigation goals, which may include forcing the fiduciary to comply with your requests, removing and replacing the fiduciary and\/or surcharging them for any damage they caused.\n<\/span>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-905f7a3 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"905f7a3\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d5de801 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d5de801\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.23.0 - 05-08-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/kaneferguson-legal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/case-study-breadcrumbs-bg-1-1024x256.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-34\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kaneferguson-legal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/case-study-breadcrumbs-bg-1-1024x256.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kaneferguson-legal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/case-study-breadcrumbs-bg-1-300x75.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kaneferguson-legal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/case-study-breadcrumbs-bg-1-768x192.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kaneferguson-legal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/case-study-breadcrumbs-bg-1-1536x384.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kaneferguson-legal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/case-study-breadcrumbs-bg-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b1b8e3 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7b1b8e3\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-944ecca elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"944ecca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">\n\nWhile it is necessary to demonstrate error to be successful in your appeal of a probate court decision, that is not enough to have a solid chance at winning an appeal in probate court. You also have to prove that the alleged error was prejudicial, meaning that it affected the outcome of the case. To determine this, ask yourself: If the error hadn\u2019t been made, would the court\u2019s decision have been different? If the answer is yes, then you probably have grounds to launch a probate appeal. If the answer is no, the appellate court will likely deny your appeal.<br><br>\nKane Ferguson\u2019s team of probate appeal attorneys can review the facts of your case with you to determine what your chances are of successfully appealing a probate decision.
