Adams County Will Contest Lawyer

Many people assume that if a loved one had a will, wrapping up his or her affairs simply requires following the terms of the will. Unfortunately, it is not always that easy. The will must generally be validated through the court probate process. If an heir, beneficiary or other interested party disputes the validity of a will, litigation can result.

Will contests and trust disputes are often lengthy and complex proceedings. Just like any other civil case, they require extensive court appearances, appropriate filings and paperwork, and compelling legal arguments. They also require presenting evidence, which may include:

  • Witness testimony
  • Handwriting experts
  • Medical experts
  • Medical records

Given the intensive nature of such proceedings, it is important to consult with an experienced attorney to obtain professional legal guidance to effectively and efficiently achieve your objectives.

Grounds For Challenging A Will Or Trust

There are many ways to challenge a will or trust under Colorado law. Common grounds include:

  • Lack of requisite mental capacity to execute the will or trust
  • Undue influence by another person
  • Conflicting documents
  • Improper execution of the will or trust
  • Fraud

Additionally, disputes can arise over whether the personal representative or trustee is fit to serve. Whether you are seeking to challenge a will or trust or you need to defend your ability and priority to serve, experienced legal guidance is critical.
