What Are Emergency Relief Claims?
Emergency relief claims are urgent legal motions made to the court when immediate action is necessary to prevent serious harm, loss, or injustice. These are typically used in high-conflict estate disputes, business litigation, or civil cases where waiting for a regular court process could cause irreversible damage.
Courts may issue time-sensitive orders such as injunctions, preservation orders, or orders to compel or restrict action pending a full hearing.
When Are They Used?
Emergency relief may be required in situations such as:
Asset Dissipation - When someone is quickly transferring or hiding estate or business assets.
Estate Mismanagement - If an executor or trustee is misusing funds or violating duties.
Fraud or Breach of Trust - When fraudulent actions threaten a party’s legal or financial interests.
Violations of Agreement - Breach of contract or settlement terms that demand immediate enforcement.
Risk to Vulnerable Individuals - Where guardianship or care issues arise with elderly or dependent persons.
Types of Emergency Relief
Emergency motions may result in court orders such as:
Interim Injunctions - Preventing actions like the sale or disposal of disputed property.
Preservation Orders - Freezing assets or accounts until a final decision is made.
Certificates of Pending Litigation - Registering a claim on title to real estate.
Restraining Orders - Preventing contact or interference between parties.
