Navigating Will Contests: LegalMatch Offers Essential Support

Understanding the nuances of probate law is essential to avoid lengthy and costly disputes, and having legal guidance can make all the difference.”

— Ken LaMance, LegalMatch’s General Counsel.

RENO, NV, UNITED STATES, April 14, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In the midst of a loved one passing away, the distribution of their estate can create unforeseen issues. Contesting a will can arise when a beneficiary or beneficiaries challenge the validity and terms of a will. Being aware of the legal process that is involved in contesting a will can provide clarity and peace of mind during an already emotional time.

Below are common reasons to contest a will:

Undue Influence: This is when evidence suggests the testator was somehow manipulated or coerced into making decisions about the will against their own wishes.
Lack of Capacity: A will can be contested if the testator was not mentally competent or of sound mind at the time of the creation of the will.
Conflicts with Trust Terms: This can happen if a trust that was created by the decedent contradicts the terms of the will, causing a conflict between beneficiaries.
Improper Execution: Certain requirements dictate whether a will is legally valid, such as witness signatures or notarization. If these are not completed, the will may be considered invalid.
