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 explains things in a practical way to help guide you through a rather daunting process. We have been using Klenk Law for years. Highly recommend.
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.
Lu Han
I have worked with three different attorneys and law firms over the years, and I can confidently say that attorney Peter Klenk stands out as the most knowledgeable. He created the most thorough wills and trust documents I've ever had. Mr. Klenk took the time to gather all the necessary details about my current situation and goals. As a result, he put together comprehensive documents that I believe will effectively protect my assets and ensure my children's inheritance is secure.
What truly sets Mr. Klenk apart is his patience and dedication to understanding my questions. He provided detailed explanations that made complex legal concepts much easier to grasp. His team's communication and scheduling were equally impressive, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.
Thank you, Mr. Klenk, and your fantastic team, for your exceptional service!
