Wrongful Disinheritance

Wrongful disinheritance is a serious matter that occurs when an estate plan is altered improperly, often due to undue influence or the incapacity of the deceased, caused by dementia or other mental illnesses. Undue influence usually involves a relative who takes advantage of their position of authority to coerce or deceive the deceased into modifying their estate plan. At our law firm, we vigorously pursue these wrongdoers by collecting evidence to challenge their proposed changes and restore the original estate plan.

Mental capacity is another critical factor in evaluating the validity of an estate plan. If the creator of the plan lacked the mental capacity to comprehend the nature of their actions, it can result in an invalid plan. We conduct a thorough review of the medical records, consult with medical professionals, and interview friends and family to identify any signs of diminished capacity. Our goal is to challenge any late-stage changes that contradict the true intentions of the deceased and ensure that the estate plan reflects their wishes.
