Contested Wills

Has the validity of a will been placed into question?

Life is difficult enough after the death of a loved one. Life should not be complicated further by disputes surrounding a person's estate. A will should clearly define a person's intentions regarding the distribution of his or her estate. Even so, sometimes issues arise during probate or estate administration about the validity of a will. We will represent you in will contests and estate disputes surrounding:

• Undue influence
• Lack of capacity
• Duress
• Fraud
• Lack of will formality

If you feel something is wrong with a will or an estate plan, it is often best to take immediate action because once disputes arise, it may take a great deal of time to resolve these issues. Will contests and estate litigation can drag on for years, draining the family of valuable resources and energy. Proactively dealing with will contests may be the best way to avoid costly litigation and conflicts. Hiring an experienced attorney may help you expedite this process.
