If you have concerns about a will, that added weight can compound the grief you already feel. You may question whether the will properly reflects the deceased person's intent or whether issues like lack of testamentary capacity, lack of knowledge and approval, undue influence or fraud have affected what was made.

Your first step is to reach out to us for an obligation-free consultation, where you get the opportunity to explain the dispute and receive clear initial guidance. Your contested wills lawyer will want to understand your relationship with the deceased person, the nature and approximate value of the estate, the terms of the will (if available), the other interested persons and the reason for the dispute. If you may have a family provision claim on your hands, the lawyer can consider your eligibility, the factors relevant to your success and the evidence that may support your position. In cases where the validity of a will is disputed, the review may evaluate the circumstances of its preparation and execution, any concerns about testamentary capacity and fraud. Guidance is also available for executors and administrators who need to respond to a claim and protect the estate's interests at the same time.
