When a Will is Contested
We handle “contentious probates” throughout the State of Indiana. Experience has demonstrated that older Americans are not the only ones subject to influence and manipulation. If your ex-spouse, parent, or grandparent has changed their Will or trust due to the actions or advice of a third party, you need to consult with a will contest lawyer. At Padgett Law, we identify suspicious circumstances surrounding the creation of Wills and trusts and take action to remedy the improper conduct.
If your loved one was of unsound mind, or was unfairly influenced when preparing their Will or trust, you can contest its validity. We stand firmly by our clients and expose any fraudulent or improper execution of estate planning documents like Wills and trusts.
Wills and Trusts Require Vigilance
A Will or trust enables a person to distribute their assets according to stated intentions. To create a valid Will or trust, a person must be of sound mind and not subject to undue influence. We can help you evaluate the circumstances and determine the best course of action.
Trust Contests
Just like a Will, a trust can be contested if there are proper grounds for a challenge. The sooner you act the better . . . waiting can deny you the right to a remedy or can add complications and additional costs to litigating the matter. If you have doubts or questions regarding how a Will or trust was prepared or executed, contact the Will and trust contest attorneys at Padgett Law today.
