What Do I Need to Bring to My Initial Consultation?

In the wake of losing someone dear to you, an emotional whirlwind often ensues, particularly when family disputes or disagreements among heirs arise. Organizing necessary documents to contest the estate can help restore a sense of control to your life. Be sure to bring a copy of the will and any evidence that could indicate mental impairment in your loved one. If you harbor doubts about whether your loved one signed their will or trust papers under pressure, bring any supporting information that might bolster your case.  While it may be difficult to think about, it's important to gather all relevant information and documentation in order to protect your loved one's final wishes.


In cases where a will or trust was not properly executed, you can request a copy from the executor or trustee. This will give you an opportunity to review the document and identify any potential issues. Additionally, if there are concerns about the validity of the will or trust, you can file a formal objection with the court. This process may involve hiring an attorney and presenting evidence to support your claim.
