 Can I challenge a will or trust? |
 |
There are several traditional challenges to a will or trust including (i) the document is a forgery, (ii) the document has been fraudulently modified, and (iii) the document was not properly executed. In addition, it is also possible to challenge a will or a trust on the basis that it was secured by fraud, undue influence or created during a time when the decedent did not have capacity.
We have experience challenging estate planning documents on all of the grounds described above. We are not afraid to fight for your inheritance and have prosecuted a number of trials challenging estate planning documents on the basis of lack of capacity and undue influence. |
