Yes. If you are an heir, beneficiary, or someone who would have inherited under intestacy laws, and you believe the will is invalid due to fraud, undue influence, or incapacity, you may file a contest. Grounds must be backed by evidence, and time limits apply.
Typically, you have four months from the date the will is probated (or six months if you live out of state). Missing this window can bar your claim entirely.
Undue influence involves someone exerting pressure on the decedent to change or create a will that benefits them, often at the expense of others. This is especially relevant when the decedent was in a vulnerable state (e.g., elderly, ill, dependent).
Yes, but you must demonstrate that they breached their fiduciary duties—such as failing to administer the estate properly, acting dishonestly, or creating conflicts of interest.
Look for an attorney with specific experience in contested estate matters, not just general probate. The right lawyer should be strategic, assertive in court, and compassionate in dealing with sensitive family dynamics.
Not always. Many estate disputes are resolved through mediation or negotiation. However, having a trial-ready attorney from the beginning ensures you’re prepared if litigation becomes necessary.
We offer free initial consultations and in many estate litigation matters, we work on a contingency basis—meaning you don’t pay unless we recover money for you.
At ASK Law Firm, we know estate disputes aren’t just legal—they’re personal. Our attorneys are not only experienced litigators but also careful strategists who protect your family’s legacy with precision and discretion.
