What are the most common reasons a will is contested?
Wills are commonly contested for the following reasons: 1)the will wasn’t executed properly, i.e. it wasn’t signed and witnessed as required by law; 2) the person making the will (the testator) didn’t have the capacity to alter the will intelligently, i.e. he/she has Alzheimer’s; 3) the will was drafted under pressure or under undue influence, i.e. a health care giver succeeds in getting a large settlement in a new will.
