Disputes over wills are often difficult when you're not clear on how you should move forward. You may need to contest a will where you believe that proper provision has not been made for you by the estate or challenge a will where concerns exist about its 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. If you're the executor of a will, you may need to defend the will where another person has threatened to make a claim against the estate or is already doing 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.
