ESTATE LITIGATION CASES ARE COMPLICATED

If you find the need to challenge a will or trust document on the grounds that the person who created the estate plan had a mental impairment or was coerced by someone else to take an action not consistent with earlier expressed intentions, you need to take prompt action to assert a challenge. Examples may be where the executor or beneficiary or other family member may have exerted undue influence.

You may know that a family member or friend did not act voluntarily when creating the will or trust as evidenced by the division of the property.
