Addressing Legal Concerns About the Will
Sometimes, conflicts arise during the administration of an estate. If you are involved in a dispute over the validity or execution of a will, we will explain your legal rights and work to protect them. We will ask important questions, such as:
- Was the will validly executed by the deceased?
- Did the person making the will have ulterior motives?
- Did the deceased complete and make changes to the will while competent?
- Was undue influence exerted to change the will?
