What is a Will ContestBookmark and Share

A Will Contest is an attempt to invalidate a Will in court. If your loved one recently passed away, and you suspect

? The deceased lacked mental capacity at the time the Will was executed;

? There was fraud, force, or undue influence; or

? The Will was forged

then you should ask an attorney about contesting the will.

If a loved one has died and you don't know what to do, contact an attorney as soon as possible. It is usually free or inexpensive to consult with an attorney or two and you will get a feeling for whether you have complex issues or not. A few minutes of time can save you years of heartache.
