Will Contest
Spouses, children, grandchildren, and other family members and heirs may have legal standing to contest a will. At Burns, Cunningham & Mackey, P.C., our will contest lawyers often handle claims on behalf of both heirs who have been unfairly overlooked and executors with fiduciary duty and obligation to defend a will filed for probate.
The most common grounds upon which a will is contested include:
- Mental incapacity
- Fraud or undue influence
- Improper execution
- Subsequent will
Mental incapacity is the most common grounds for challenging a will. The claim contends that the deceased was incapable of creating a valid will because he or she did not understand the “nature and extent” of his or her assets, did not know the family members or loved ones who would be entitled to such property, and did not understand their property would be distributed. Fraud or undue influence relates to claims that the deceased party was coerced during the execution of the will. Improper execution, as implied, involves any failure to adhere to Alabama’s requirements involving drafting, witnessing, and execution of a will. Finally, any more recent, subsequent will, would replace an older will.
