Primary Practice Areas
Do you need to contest a will?
The most common grounds for challenging a will in Ohio are:
- Lack of Testamentary Capacity: The deceased person did not have the mental capacity to understand the nature and effect of making a will at the time it was made.
- Undue Influence: Someone used pressure or coercion to get the deceased person to create a will that was not their true wishes.
- Forgery: The will is fraudulent or was signed by someone other than the deceased.
- Fraud: The will was obtained by deception or trickery.
If you want to contest a will in Ohio, you should consult a lawyer with experience in probate litigation, such as the team at Heban, Murphree & Lewandowski, LLC. A lawyer can help you understand your legal rights and options and can represent you in court.
