Will Contests

Normally, an heir or loved one would never think of contesting a Will. However, in some circumstances, a Will Contest is necessary. Certainly, people need to understand that it is very difficult, in most cases, to have the Probate Court throw out a Will or invalidate a gift in a Will. However, there are cases where the Testator was unduly influenced or lacked the legal capacity to execute a testamentary instrument. In those cases, and assuming there is a significant amount of wealth involved, our law firm would represent an heir in contesting a Will. However, it would not be economically feasible for the client or for our firm for the purpose of invalidating a Will unless the amount involved is in excess of $1,000,000. The cost to successfully litigate these types of cases is simply too expensive for cases smaller then $1,000,000. However, if the amount is a sufficient amount, and the potential heir has a strong case, then the Dana Law Firm has the experience and expertise to handle your case. If we choose to represent you, we handle most Will contest cases on a contingency fee basis. We have handled high profile cases. Currently, we have a case where we are seeking to invalidate a $16,000,000 gift. If you think you have a good case, contact us and set up a free initial consultation.
