It can be difficult to navigate will disputes when it is not always clear what your next step should be. You may need to contest a will if you believe that the estate has not made proper provision for you or challenge a will if you have concerns about the validity because of lack of testamentary capacity, lack of knowledge and approval, undue influence, fraud or other concerns about how the will was prepared and/or executed. As the executor of a will, you may need to defend the will where another person is making a claim against the estate or has threatened to do so. Fortunately, Armstrong Legal is a national law firm with more than 30 years of experience, giving clients clear, practical support during these difficult matters.
