FAQ’s
When can a will be contested?
A will, trust or estate can be formally challenged during the probate process – a process also known as contentious probate or probate litigation. A relative or loved one may potentially choose to challenge the will or estate when there are concerns about its legitimacy, or because an executor has behaved inappropriately.
Probate litigation may arise on the following grounds:
- If the person who made the will lacked testamentary capacity, meaning they were not mentally capable of making a legally binding will
- If it can be proven that another party exerted undue influence over the person making the will
- If the creator of the will lacked knowledge of its contents
- If the will can be proven to be forged or fraudulent
For help resolving a probate dispute, you need to appoint an executor or administrator to make a deal that suits all parties involved.
