Contested Estate Planning Documents
Wills | Trusts | Powers of Attorney
An estate planning document may be contested for a variety of reasons:
- There may be concerns that a beneficiary had undue influence over the deceased, or that the decedent made decisions or changes under duress from a potential heir
- There may be concerns about the mental capacity of the deceased at the time the Will was executed—the deceased may have been mentally unstable, suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s, or have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- There may be concerns about fraud or misrepresentation—The deceased may not have known what he or she was signing
- The document may not have been legally executed—It may not have been properly signed or witnessed
