What Are the Grounds for Filing an Objection to a Will or Trust?
Although it is common for some to believe they were unfairly excluded from inheriting certain assets, this is not a good enough reason to successfully contest a will or trust.
Here are some grounds for filing an objection that can hold up in court:
- If the will or trust was signed under duress or undue influence, it could render the will or trust unenforceable. It is a type of abuse often inflicted on elders, so if you believe this happened to your loved one, you have grounds for an objection.
- Wills and trusts can be revoked, so if there is evidence that the will or trust that is being recognized was revoked, its legitimacy can be contested.
- For a will or trust to be enforceable, it is necessary for the person drafting and signing it to be of sound mind throughout the entire process. Otherwise, the will or trust will not be considered valid.
- A person cannot write down their final wishes on any piece of paper. For it to hold up in court, it must be properly formalized and signed in the presence of a notary or witnesses. If these procedures are not followed, its validity may be challenged.
You can rely on our litigation services to achieve the best possible outcome for you and your loved one's beneficiaries.
