THE ATTORNEY'S CORNER: CONTESTING A WILL

 

“Articles Concerning Trusts, Wills, Probate, Family Law & more”

By: Stephen C. Ross, Esq.

November 29, 2014 (San Diego County) – A "will contest" challenges the validity of a document alleged to be decedent's last will or a codicil to the will. A "contest" may occur either before or after the will is admitted to probate. In the first instance, the challenge is an attempt to preclude admission of the will to probate. In the latter instance, the challenge seeks to revoke probate of the will.
