Improper Execution
Each jurisdiction has specific rules that cover the signing of a Will or Trust. Improper Execution of a Will refers to a Will not signed or witnessed correctly. The same applies to an improperly signed Trust.
A Will That is Not Signed or Witnessed Correctly.
This problem arises most often when someone creates a Holographic Will or uses a form-Will. An Estate Planning Lawyer is not necessary for a valid Will, but an Experienced Estate Planning Lawyer can help avoid an expensive Will Contest. An improperly signed Will causes confusion. Further, an improperly signed will or trust might be invalid. Even the smallest error can cause a dispute.
Improper Execution, A Second Opinion.
If you believe a Will or Trust was improperly signed, have it reviewed by an experienced Estate Planning Lawyer. A Will signed improperly can also be the sign of Undue Influence, Fraud or Forgery, and evidence in a Will Contest.

Peter G.
Very knowledgeable! Peter Klenk always has a thorough answer, and the associates have more experience than you'll find at most firms. They really only do estate work.
Chantee C.
Peter recently gave a presentation about Wills & Trusts at my employer, and it was fantastic! He was extremely knowledgeable and provided valuable information to the group. People were very engaged and asked several questions, all of which Peter thoroughly answered. Personally, my husband and I have selected Peter to help us with our estate planning, and he has been very helpful in providing us with all of the information we need to provide a secure future for our family. Thank you, Peter!

Like another reviewer, I contacted Peter through his website using the free consultation link, for a question regarding PA inheritance taxes. The question was quite technical and difficult to explain, and the answer was nowhere to be found on the web. Peter grasped precisely what I was asking, and provided a clear, helpful response (with a touch of humor) the very next day.
