Creating an effective will can save your loved ones unnecessary difficulty at an already emotional time. The process of estate administration can be overwhelming when a loved one passes away. Estate administration procedures are often complicated and call for the assistance of an experienced estate administration, probate, and estate-planning lawyer. Our attorneys have a clear and complete understanding what goes into proving a will and how things can go wrong. Our experience allows us to avoid these difficulties while providing you with a document that accurately reflects your wishes.
Sometimes, during the probate process, the validity of a will is challenged. Challenges are often based upon errors in execution, undue influence on the deceased when the will was created, and incompetence of the deceased when the will was created, among other things. Natural children, when they are minors, have rights that may void portions of an otherwise valid will. Having an attorney familiar with these proceedings can make a difficult and often lengthy process easier. A will contest lawyer should understand the probate process. Knowing the territory makes the process easier to predict and to understand.
