Difficulties in will disputes arise when you're not clear on what should be done next. You may need to contest a will if you consider that the estate has not made proper provision for you, or you may wish to challenge a will if you have concerns about its validity due to lack of testamentary capacity, lack of knowledge and approval, undue influence, fraud or other concerns about how the will was prepared and/or executed. If you're the executor of a will, you may need to defend the will if another person is making a claim against the estate or has threatened to do so.
