Will and Trust Contests

Will and trust contests are legal proceedings that arise when estate beneficiaries disagree about the distribution of assets, question the estate’s financial affairs, or dispute who receives an inheritance. In these cases, certain family members often argue that the will or trust was altered in a way that unfavorably impacted their interests, and attribute this to undue influence or pressure exerted on the estate plan creator.

Such contests can be emotionally charged and complex, involving a range of legal issues, including the validity of the estate plan, the interpretation of its provisions, and the duties of the estate executor. In many cases, the stakes are high, with significant financial assets and properties at risk. As a result, it is important to seek out a knowledgeable and experienced law firm that can guide you through the process and help you achieve the best possible outcome.
