A will or a last will and testament can be "contested" or challenged for a few reasons. One of which stems from the following: People often delay writing their Will until they are in their senior years. We always remind people that Wills are to be written when you are fit and healthy, and updated throughout your life. Leaving the writing of the Will until you think you are close to death often opens the door to a contestation or challenge of the Estate. Age alone is not a factor, but mental capacity can often be associated with age and if a deceased had updated the Will in his/her final years it is more likely that the mental capacity of the Testator could be contested. We can help you if this is the case.

 

The Deceased must have understood the implications of what he or she had written and signed.

​

A qualified Estate Litigation attorney can help you navigate the convoluted maze of rules and regulations and ensure that the will signed was in fact the true "Last Will and Testament" of the Deceased.
