Who Can Contest A Will?
The purpose of an estate plan is to clearly lay out someone’s wishes. When they include vague language, it can make things difficult. Furthermore, if these documents are not updated to reflect the changes in the family or their most recent assets, it can leave everyone with a headache. In order to contest a will, certain requirements must be met. In New York, the following parties can do so:
- Spouse of the decedent
- Children of the decedent
- Any beneficiary mentioned in the will
- Anyone who would have benefited from a prior will
There are many reasons to contest a will. From questioning the validity of the existing legal documents to a nonexistent signature, there are a range of issues that may result in a contested will. We can provide you with an honest assessment and discuss potential solutions. Our goal is to represent your best interests every step of the way.
