Will Contests

In Virginia, a person can contest a will once it is probated as long as it is done soon enough and within the appropriate statute of limitations.  Wills are generally contested due to a lack of testamentary capacity or undue influence of the testator (person who wrote the will).  Matters such as will contests are often complex and fact driven, therefore an experienced attorney can assist in advising clients about the validity of a will in each unique circumstance.  Our firm has experience with both challenging and defending wills.
