Doylestown Will Contest Lawyer

From Our “Ask a Question” Mailbag: “My father and I had an excellent relationship. He lived his entire life in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Right after his funeral, my sister filed a will in Doylestown, excluding me. This is not my father’s Will. I need a Doylestown Will Contest Lawyer to fight this Will. What are the steps?”

Doylestown Will Contest Lawyer, What You Need to Know:

The vast majority of Wills are filed with the Register with little fanfare. While families may not agree on all matters, they find a way to muddle through the Probate process without dispute. For these estates, the Executor may need help from a Bucks County Probate Attorney to help sell a house or file the Inheritance Tax Return. But, there is no need for a Will Contest Lawyer. Sometimes, though, an heir has been wronged. In your case, it is not a tiny slight; you have been wholly excluded. In these cases, you must retain an attorney focusing on Will Contests. Unlike our lawyers at Klenklaw, not every attorney is a Doylestown Will Contest Lawyer.  

Primary Claims for Pennsylvania Will Contests:

Once you have retained our Will Contest team, we will work with you to develop your case. For background information, here is a list of the chief claims for Pennsylvania Will Contests:

• Lack of Capacity: To be valid under Pennsylvania law, a person signing a Will must have the ability to understand the rights and powers the document grants. Further, he must realize what assets he has that are passing at his death and more. If a person does not have this capacity, then the Orphans’ Court judge can void the Will.   Learn more by following this link to an article about Will Contests based on Lack of Capacity.

• Undue Influence: Was the deceased unduly pressured to the extent that the Will terms would not have existed but for the pressure? If so, the Will may be challenged as the product of Undue Influence. Follow this link for more information about Undue Influence Will Contests.

• Fraud: An Orphans’ Court judge can void a Will if it results from Fraud. Was the deceased misled about the document being a Wil when he signed it? Did someone lie about the Will’s terms? Your Bucks County Will Contest lawyer can use these facts to bring a Will Contest based on Fraud. For more information, follow this link to learn more about Will Challenges Based on Fraud.
