Following the death of a loved one most estates are handled in an amicable manner amongst the named beneficiaries.  However, in a few instances a dispute can arise concerning whether the final Last Will and Testament of the decedent truly represents such individual’s final wishes.  In these instances a Will Contest may be initiated which challenges the validity of the decedent’s Last Will and Testament.

At Kulzer & DiPadova, P.A. we have extensive experience in representing beneficiaries who want to challenge a Will as well as beneficiaries who feel the Will should be upheld.  The most common challenges to a Will include allegations of undue influence as well as questions concerning the mental capacity of the decedent at the time the Will was executed.  Other issues such as the decedent’s probable intent, the existence of a mistake and tortious interference in a beneficiary’s rightful bequest are sometimes also included in estate litigation.

We recognize and understand the emotional turmoil estate litigation engenders among family members.  We always attempt to resolve these difficult issues through compromise and settlement.  However, if our attempts are not successful our attorneys and staff of estate administration paralegals will competently and vigorously represent our clients through the completion of the litigation process.
