Southern California Will Contests
If you have been wrongfully excluded from a will, you should know that with the right probate litigation attorneys working to protect your interests it is possible to contest a will and secure what you are entitled to under the law.
By the same token, if you believe that someone's challenge to a will is groundless — experienced, aggressive legal representation can protect your interests in that sense as well.

Whichever side of the issue you are on, you can count on our lawyers to provide high quality, aggressive legal representation on your behalf.

Grounds for Contesting a Will
The circumstances surrounding will contests are often emotional and as complex as family dynamics themselves. Generally, allegations that form the basis for a will contest involve the following types of claims:
- Lack of testamentary capacity
- Undue influence
- Duress
- Fraud or misrepresentation
- Revocation
- Mistake
- Improper execution
- Forgery
Our attorneys have been able to help many clients avoid the delay, expense and escalating stress levels that a trial can bring by developing creative solutions that settle the dispute before it gets to the point of trial. That said — we will not hesitate to litigate these issues on your behalf and to challenge a will in its entirety, or only in part, on the basis of any of these grounds.
