There are many times in which the heirs to an estate have reason to contest a probate or initiate litigation in a probate matter.

Examples of reasons to contest a probate include:

  • An invalid testamentary instrument was submitted to the Court
  • The Decedent lacked capacity to execute a testamentary instrument submitted to the Court
  • A testamentary instrument was revised to cut out a legal or rightful heir because of the influence of another person
  • Questions of paternity and lawful heirship of a purported child
  • Prior acts of an heir, caregiver or interested party resulted in parts of the estate being diverted prior to the Decedent’s death
