It does not take much for a dispute over and estate to surface. When one beneficiary is not getting what they expected to receive from an estate or trust, the dispute can easily lead to will litigation. These argument usually start when the person who has passed away diminished or eliminated someone's expected inheritance without warning.
If you are involved in a dispute over a will or trust in any way, the first thing you want to do is gather information. Whether you believe something is not right with the will or another beneficiary is making a claim that could reduce your own inheritance, it is important to determine if any changes were made, and if so, how they were made. There are a few reasons why changes to a will could be overturned:
- Mental capacity: If the deceased made a change to their will after losing the mental capacity to make such a change, those changes could be undone.
- Undue influence: If it is determined that the deceased made changes under undue influence or pressure from someone who stood to benefit from those changes, the will or trust could be changed back to its original state.
We will conduct a thorough investigation into your case in order to determine what happened. Once we have a better understanding of your will contest, we will outline your rights and options, and be ready to negotiate a settlement or protect your rights in court.
