Will Contests & Estate Litigation
A will, trust or similar estate planning component can be contested on several grounds, each with its own set of complications. The increase in blended and second families, resulting from late-in-life marriages, has fostered increasingly complex issues in the distribution of estates.
It is crucial that highly experienced lawyers be retained to ensure that the intent of the decedent is properly defended. At Faloni & Associates, you can depend on our proven expertise and keen client commitment to get the results you need.
Some of the grounds upon which a will can be contested are:
- An improperly executed will
- Mental competence of the testator
- Suspicion that the will was a product of fraud or undue influence
- Disagreement over proof of heirs
- A second will is discovered
Time limitations and constraints affect the contesting of a will. Deadlines are put into effect, to ensure that bills are paid and assets can be distributed in a timely manner. Once a will has been accepted for probate, it becomes extremely difficult to initiate legal action to contest that will.
At Faloni & Associates, we act on your behalf swiftly and decisively. We are committed to your needs and dedicated to your goals when estate litigation arises out of a will or trust contest.
