Will disputes can be tricky because you're not always sure what your next step should be. 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 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.
