Will Contests Attorney Services

Practice Description

If you are contesting a will, you must feel like everything in you is all nervous. A will contest represents the process by which someone contests the validity of a particular will. This may happen once the deceased person has passed away. And his or her relatives or interested parties are of the opinion that the actual will does not depict the desires of the deceased person. If you are based in Georgia and face the issue of a will contest, then it is essential to seek a lawyer with practice experience. It is only through adequate legal services that one might safeguard himself from losing interest.

At Andersen, Tate And Carr, our lawyers have many years of experience in litigating for individuals who are contesting a will. Most such situations carry massive emotional charges and, sometimes, can get worse; therefore, we are here to guide you every step of the way.

What is a Will Contest?

A will contest normally arises when a party deems a will invalid for one or more of a variety of reasons. Some common reasons of a will contest include:

• Lack of Capacity: If the person who made his will lacked mental capacity when he was making his will. In case he was mentally incompetent, his will can be questioned.
• Undue Influence: Situations whereby a person forces or compels the testator in the making of a will to his advantage. A person who could prove that such a will was created under such influence could possibly make it invalid.
• Failure of Execution: Wills are supposed to follow certain legal formalities. If not so, for example, in case of failure to sign or witness appropriately, the will can be challenged.
