PENNSYLVANIA WILL CONTEST LAWYERS
Offices located in Allegheny, Butler, Washington & Westmoreland Counties
A Will Contest is a legal proceeding in which a challenge is raised as to the validity or enforceability of a Decedent’s Last Will and Testament. Such challenges and disputes can arise for a number of reasons:
- The person making the Will lacked the mental capacity to understand what he or she was doing.
- Someone exercised duress, pressure or undue influence over the person making the Will
- The person making the Will may have tried to amend or change their Will, but did so improperly, and
- The Will in question may have been forged or altogether fraudulently prepared.
As you might imagine from the above-cited examples, Will Contests are often difficult and expensive matters to litigate. They often concern or involve issues or events that occurred many years prior to the death of a Decedent. They also often require the securing of medical records and the testimony or opinion of doctors or other medical professionals who treated the Decedent while he or she was alive. Securing such records and testimony can be extremely difficult and costly. Therefore, one should never enter into this kind of litigation blindly. It is extremely important to seek the advice of a competent and experienced lawyer.

Our number-one-goal of our lawyers in these types of cases is to protect the rights of our clients and to secure for them those estate proceeds to which they are entitled.
