Why You Need a Lawyer for a Contested Will or Trust

When it comes to wills and trusts, there is often a lot at stake. If you are involved in a contested will or trust, it is important to have an experienced lawyer on your side.

There are a few reasons why having a lawyer is important in this situation. Having an experienced lawyer from Huff Legal will help you navigate the entire process and address any issues that arise.

Why Would Someone Contest a Will or Trust?

There are a number of reasons why someone might contest a will or trust. One of the most common is because of Fraud or Undue Influence. Simply put, undue influence occurs when one person uses their position of power to convince the person creating their will or trust to do something that they would not otherwise do. Another reason could be a lack of capacity. In order to create a legally binding Will, a testator must have the mental competency to:

Understand and recollect the nature of their estate assets and situation.
Remember and recognize the individual’s relations to living descendants, spouses, and parents.
Understand the nature of the testamentary act.

A will or trust could be declared void if the testator’s lack of capacity can be medically proven. Incompetence is most frequently established through prior medical evidence of mental illnesses such as dementia, Alzheimer’s, senility, etc.

Whatever the reason for the contest, you should have an attorney who can help you navigate the process and protect your interests.

Keeping Your Sanity During a Will Contest

If you are in the midst of a will contest, you are likely already feeling stressed and overwhelmed. The thought of going up against family members or other beneficiaries in court can be daunting, but it is important to remember that you are not alone.

Although hiring an attorney won’t save you from the deposition, it can help you prepare for the challenging process. At Huff Legal, we have represented clients in a variety of will contests. We understand the unique challenges that come with these cases, and we are here to help you through every step of the process.

Making Quick Decisions

Just as with any legal proceedings, you may need to make quick decisions. They can be related to evidence collection, document filing, settlement agreements, and much more. Failing to accept an offer, draft the right document, or make an important statement could cause you to lose the trial.

With an attorney by your side, these decisions are much easier to make. A qualified lawyer provides sufficient information to help you choose a direction to go in. Without expert advice and experience, it may be hard to collect the necessary data for quick decision-making.

Abel Resendiz

Simply put, Huff is the best criminal defense lawyer in Oakland. I was recently charged with a serious offense that could have changed my life, could have lost everything. Huff put my mind at ease in our fist meeting, and worked tirelessly on my behalf to get me the best outcome. Always kept me informed, I’d email him on weekends and he promptly answered every question I had. Thank you again for everything you’ve done for me, couldn’t be more grateful.

Manuela Frazier

I was fighting a case for four years. I was belittled and battered by the plaintiff and the judge repeatedly without legal representation. Once I hired Attorney Huff, he went to court and walked into the courtroom, and it was over. Cases closed! I would recommend this Attorney highly. Having legal representation makes a world of difference. Attorney Huff is the best!
