Estate Claims, Challenges & Litigation

Having a Will does not guarantee the decedent’s assets, including real property and personal accounts, Will be distributed according to the Will’s terms.  A court generally must provide an opportunity to allow others to object to the Will, or file a Caveat, and a challenge may be brought by anyone with interest in the Estate who believes the Will is invalid.
