I represent clients in complicated will contests based on issues including the following:

Improper drafting or lack of signatures or witnesses
Claims by a will beneficiary of undue influence by a friend, relative, health care worker or other person on the decedent
Claims that the decedent lacked the mental capacity to understand the terms of the will
Cases in which the submitted will had been revoked
Cases in which the will is unclear or not specific about distribution of items
Cases in which there are grounds on which to contest the appointment of a particular executor of the will

My Effective Approach

The first step in effectively resolving disputes over a will is to sit down and discuss the issues and assets involved. As an experienced probate litigation lawyer, I can help you identify your goals in a will contest and help you understand your legal options. In many cases, a dispute can be resolved in thoughtful, assertive negotiations carried out by me with the other party.

If needed, I will take your case into litigation and help you fight for what is fair and proper.
