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.

Alison Spinelli
I couldn’t be more pleased with this firm! The dedication and attention to detail that Rodney Myer has put into this case is hard to put into words. Our litigation has been extremely involved and complicated. This has been very emotional for my family and I and Rodney and his team have gone above and beyond. He is direct, patient, compassionate, professional, and returns calls promptly - which is a major plus when hiring a lawyer! We have total confidence and trust in him, which is so important when dealing with a probate and litigation as hard as this one has been. They are exactly what we needed at such a hard time in our lives.

Christian Milazzo
This law firm was super helpful with answering all my questions! Huge props specifically to Riley for their enormous assist with helping me get where I needed to go. They were fantastic!!!
Gwen Hinrichs
I can't tell you how satisfied I am with this law firm. They were competent and helped me with a very difficult situation. They got the job done in a timely fashion and I am so happy I found them. If you find yourself in a difficult and contentious probate situation I highly recommend this firm. There is just no way I could have had this positive outcome without them. I worked with 2 different lawyers prior to hiring them and neither of them could get the job done like Klenk. Daniella Horn was a pleasure to work with and highly competent.
David Major
