Representing Clients in Will Contests

At the law office of Andrew J. Bolton, Esq., we have experience with cases involving contests and the issues associated with them. Many contests fall into the following types of situations:

• Valid signature: We have handled legal matters where wills were either not signed or the signature of the decedent was forged.
• Failure to follow the proper formalities: If it was not signed under the procedures laid out in the statute, it may not be a valid will.
• Undue influence: Even if signed, and the signature is valid, undue influence by a family member may have played a role.
• Competency: If the decedent did not understand what he or she was signing, we can help.

There are other situations in which contesting may be appropriate. Even if your name does not appear in the will, this does not mean you relinquish your rights.

Detailed Review and Investigation of the Contested Will

Great attention to detail is employed as we review all aspects. Is it fair to all the surviving family members? Does it seem different from what you expected the person to write? Even the smallest issues are worth investigating. If there is any concern over the validity of a will, contact us. We can help.

Our experience with writing wills helps us in settling or litigating will contests. We identify items that may be wrong and information that is inconsistent with the deceased family member's wishes. You want to be sure that the intentions of your late loved one are respected and implemented through that will.
