Protect Your Inheritance

There can be several reasons that families argue over inheritance. Will contests typically involve several issues which include:

• Did someone unduly influence the writing of the will?
• Was the signature forged?
• Was the will properly executed — written and signed?
• Did the person lack the proper capacity to make a will?

If there is a disagreement over the disposition of an estate or a will, you’ll need a knowledgeable and experienced probate and trust litigation attorney to help protect your rights. Trust and Probate Litigation Attorney Daniel Leahy can help determine and explain your options.
