Will Contests
Allegations of undue influence or coercion in the creation or amendment of a will can tear a family apart. In this situation, you need an advocate who can protect your rights and achieve an efficient, cost-effective and workable solution.
In some circumstances, a beneficiary may have been wrongfully deprived of his or her inheritance. These beneficiaries may be able to pursue a remedy by taking legal action. Procedures exist through which you may challenge the will or trust that deprived you or a loved one of a deserved inheritance. In addition, gifts made to others before death can be overturned if fraud or undue influence was used to obtain them.
We can help you understand your rights and determine the best course of action. We can also advise and represent executors or administrators faced with such challenges.
If you decide to move forward, our attorneys will carefully review the circumstances surrounding the creation of the will or trust and any subsequent distributions of assets. We will work to build a strong case that protects your rights and achieves your goals.
