There are several ways to contest an estate. At Grady, Hayes & Neary, we can assist you before or after the will has been settled. As soon as you notice that something isn't right, you may wish to contact an attorney. These are the ways in which we can dispute an estate plan:
Incompetence: If the person writing the will was incompetent when it was written, you may be able to have the results legally disregarded.
Undue Influence: It may be the case that the person benefiting the most from the will had undue influence over the person making the will. Proof of undue influence can cause a will to be thrown out by a court.
Whatever the case may be, we will help you examine the personality of the decedent in order to come to a better understanding of why he or she made the decisions that affected the will or estate. We can then negotiate a settlement or go to trial in order to achieve a favorable result for you.
